''Thundering typhoons. Some people travel for fun!''
The plane appeared in The Adventures of Tintin Flight 714 to Sydney, as a unique private trijet aircraft capable of supersonic flight with sweep wing functionalities. Being a fan of Tintin comics and aviation, the Carreidas 160 was my must built in Lego project.
My fav part is the iconic landing scene when the pilots forced the plane to land on a very small island runway. Moreover, the parachute and the cloud of dust add a exceptionally good action to the overall model. The moc also features a sweep wing and a small interior with a seat where you can place a minifig.
All in all, I really put a lot of effort into recreating the functionalities and the comic look, and the result is actually a very nice potential Lego set with a lot of possibilities and a great story.
