Peter Blackert has made teaser instructions available for his new book: "How to Build Brick Airplanes".

See instructions and more details here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-17304/lego911/miniplane-lockheed-sr-71-blackbird/

It is a cute little "micro" plane and perhaps a substitute for the humongous version which the book also has instructions for. It is in scale 1:48!

The micro build includes a stand, can be reused for other micro airplanes in the book.

With such a small build it is only very few details that can be selected for inclusion. Among these it is easy to spot the red detailing (I believe the red marked "do not step" zones on the original, but I might remember wrongly).

The engines are also featuring prominently, and much of the angular detailing of the wings are there. This was enough for me to recognize the model

The instructions also show how to add landing gear if you prefer to display models on the ground.

I am looking forward to see which of the models from the book I am able to build without too much investment into Bricklink.
