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!

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

Don't get it.

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.
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.
