So I built it and I had on display. And I had it on the holder stand and it was on there for about three days and then the stand just broke I had it right. I know i did cause I built it twice first I messed up then I got it right but it just broke so I tried to rebuild it but I just quit …………..
This set is of comically poor design. It’s incredibly fragile, even when fully assembled, and constantly fell apart throughout the build process. Worst of all, the stand barely holds up the model. I’m a little worried to put it on display since I think it’ll slip off the stand at some point if someone looks at it the wrong way. Overall, I can’t recommend this set at all. There are much aviation themed sets that are of much better quality, like the Concorde or Space Shuttle (non transporter) to get instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry you're having trouble keeping your set together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help!
The nose does not look good. Details like some windows are missing. Even though these are problems I'd still get it however.
The build process is the problem. You start with paper bags which takes about twice as long to open cus you have to stick your face inside them to see if you forgot any parts. Already this makes the building process worse. Then we have the stickers, the reason I'm writing this review. Most of these things should be printed for the price. The see through stickers are a pain and one of them have my fingerprints on them that I can't get rid of. 18+ set with the pricetag to match yet I have to fix the stickers? Its more worth it to buy a retired set like the Space Shuttle Discovery than this thing.
Lego has really dropped the bag on this set. In the first 8 bags I found 11 missing parts and the sticker page had stickers missing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
