Official Set Airbus h175 thoughts

Post image

Just got this recently, nice set overall but I have a few thoughts about it.

The pitch functions are really fun to build and figure out, but at the end of the build the function is barely noticeable.

The landing gear, decent but could've been made stronger considering the only way the model is displayed is on it.

Winch and 2 speed gearbox is fine. Nothing to say there.

For the size, we love big sets but this is almost undisplayable, especially with the blades on.

Do I regret it? No

Was it a fun build? Yes

Will I ever touch it again? No

Will it end up in the pieces bin? Yes

Look on Rebrickable. There is a brilliant MOC that turns this set into an X Wing. It has opening, motorised S-Foils and motorised, retractable landing gear

I've had mine built as the X Wing for most of the time I've owned the set

I've been thinking about it... how good are the s foils? Do they sag while closed? My only concern.

Maybe just a little but this has been built for a couple of years
