Got to build around 200 sets since 2-3 years. I don't write any reviews usually, but this set... This has to be THE best building experiece I've had of all the sets I built. Amazing techniques all around. The shuttle looks very good, but a little less for the 747. I consider it, though, to be the best looking thing for the scale. If you are uncertain of buying, just do it. 5/5
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very ambitious set!

I love how outside the box Lego has become with their building techniques and this is certainly no different. With that out of the way this unfortunately is a bit unpolished in my experience. I thought the wings looked a little to studded and not very cohesive along with the slightly blocky nose. I wish this was as smooth as the Concorde as that is a far more polished and higher quality model than this. I would recommend this to anyone interested in space or aviation, but unfortunately this does not stand toe to toe with some of the bigger sets such as the Saturn IV, Concorde, or Artemis rocket launch pad in my opinion.
Spectacular build, phenomenally rigid and swooshability was off the charts! Just wish there was a better transition between the cockpit to the nose on both the orbiter and 747, though I completely understand the limitations of the medium…would have gladly paid a little more for a bit more smoothness
I found this to a fun build. Not as difficult as I expected. The finished product is a little less refined but I knew that from other reviews. All in all, I would recommend this build to an intermediate level builder with a little time on their hands.

Good proportions. Sturdy model. Odd 747 paint job.

I have read some other reviews stating that the proportions are off and the model is fragile. I respectfully disagree with both of those comments. What is sort of inaccurate (and why I rated it only four stars) is that 747 N905NA still had most of its American Airlines paint scheme throughout flight testing of the Shuttle Enterprise, so those two aircraft only appeared with the depicted paint schemes for transport of Enterprise after its test flights were completed, like when it was transported to its final exhibit location.
Not gonna lie, i really didn't think this set was gonna be as big as it is. I was fully expecting some size but the final build was way bigger then i first thought. And i personally think while like everyone has said the wing finish is a bit stubby. and the nose could have a better design those small details don't change how much I LOVED this build. I would defiantly build again. And the baby astronaut made for a cute finishing touch.
