LEGO Airport Cargo Plane Review 60101
" What a great set. I'd had my eye on it for a while, and finally bought it.
The build itself was straightforward, but really, really enjoyable. A lot of simple techniques but a few things surprised me about on the way.
In terms of parts a couple of special parts like the nose cone, box trolley and engines. The selection of parts were predominately green and white, with a selection of yellow an red for the cart.
Bag 1 and manual 1 build the plane (yes, it's a small set with multiple manuals). Bag 2 and manual 2 are the trolley car. There was the usual sticker sheet with 12 or so stickers that mostly went on really easily - I'd recommend watching some of the online videos to help you get the most from this as it's so frustrating if you get it wrong, and we want your model looking great!
As the model came together, I found it was such a delight. Starting with how well it rolls around and the front wheel swivels freely to give the plane good mobility on the ground. Inside the engines, they have fans that spin when blown.
Round the back the cargo hatch opens and closes. But, one thing that really surprised me was the way the tail lifted to give more access. You can see in my photos how much this added to the playability and fun of the set. It was such a small details but made a big difference to the playability and usability of the set.
The figures were nice with a plane captain and ground worker. And enough boxes to make loading and unloading seem worthwhile.
I would highly recommend this set to anyone! And it'll look right at home in anyone's LEGO City!
