Technic Bush Plane Building Toy 42198, 333 Pieces
Product Details
Web ID: 21000971Excellent - delivers more than is advertised
This is a really good set for all ages 8+. The plane is very swooshable and has a push-to-rotate mechanism to spin the propeller and engine but not much is made of that on the box. Where the picture shows a white arrow under the wing, that is hidden by the fact that the plane is white. The set contains quite a few gears, which is an excellent introduction to Technic as a theme with mechanisms, though that may be a surprise after just the box pictures. The range of pieces is good for rebuilding into other things so more ideas would be appreciated; small sets should have second-model instructions to encourage rebuilding, otherwise too many people might stop with just the one model and miss out on the My Own Creation aspect of LEGO building; I certainly find that when I talk to people at LEGO shows; rebuilding is new to many of them but reuse of ideas is vital education. Given the idea to rebuild, I might have used wheel hubs with a cross-hole so that they could be the source of rotation for the gears in another model; a tractor with harrow would be possible; that was my favourite with Tractor 851 when I was 8! So great play value and keep it up! If anyone struggles with applying the stickers, try using the handle of a brick separator from another set.

What a fun it was to build it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This LEGO Bush Plane was an absolute hit in our household! My partner had a great time putting it together—he enjoyed the build so much that he’s already saying he needs more LEGO sets! The instructions were clear, and the pieces fit together perfectly, making for a fun and satisfying experience. Once built, our daughter absolutely loves playing with it, and it’s sturdy enough to handle her imaginative adventures. It’s a fantastic set for both builders and little ones who love planes. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys LEGO, whether for the build or the play!

Lego Technic Bush Plane
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lego bush plane technic set was reviewed by my 13-year-old Lego Master. He was so excited to add this to his collection. From start to finish it took him a little under an hour, however he does go through sets fairly quickly so I would say this should take a bit longer. It has a gear mechanism to make the front spin, which he loved.

Moving propeller
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves all things Lego and this was her first Technic kit. She’s 14 and had a great time putting it together. This plane is so fun since you can push a part on it and the propeller spins. It’s durable and can definitely be played with after assembling.

Loved this one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was so fun to build with my son. The directions were easy to read and each step was explained with pictures. Pieces are small but the age is 8+. It seems durable but I wouldn’t let my 3 year old play with it like a normal airplane toy.

Nice aviation build
This is a good Technic plane build. It was built by a 9 year old boy. He enjoyed the build & the features of the moving pistons & propellor. It's just a nice size & attractive to look at. It's a good addition to the Lego planes he has. Well done Lego designers!
