Historic Duo: LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (10360)
Pioneering Aerospace Innovation
Celebrate a transformative era in human flight with the LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. This 2,417-piece building set for adults is a sophisticated recreation of one of aviation’s most iconic partnerships: the modified Boeing 747 and the NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise. Inspired by their legendary appearance at the 1983 Paris Air Show, this model captures the engineering ingenuity required to transport a spacecraft on the back of a commercial giant.
Designed as a premier home office centerpiece, the set offers a mindful, deep-dive building experience that bridges the gap between commercial aviation and orbital exploration.
Two Engineering Icons, One Massive Build
The 10360 set features two distinct models that integrate seamlessly via a specialized mounting system, allowing you to display them “Mated” or as individual mechanical wonders.
- Boeing 747 Carrier Features: Recreate the elegant, modified fuselage of the SCA, featuring a dial-operated 18-wheel landing gear system and the reinforced mounting struts designed to support the shuttle’s weight.
- NASA Enterprise Orbiter: The Enterprise replica includes a removable tail cone (used for ferry flight aerodynamics), detachable engines, and landing gear that can be stowed within the functional cargo bay.
- Synchronized Display: The set includes a sturdy, elegant display stand designed to support the combined weight of both aircraft, complete with individual information plaques for each historic vessel.
- 1980s Paris Air Show Livery: Dressed in the authentic NASA and Boeing livery of the era, the model radiates mid-century technological optimism and “Big Science” prestige.
- STEM Gift Excellence: With over 2,400 pieces and a wingspan of 21 inches, this is the definitive building project for fans of aerospace history, Boeing enthusiasts, and NASA collectors.
A Masterpiece for the Modern Collector
The LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is more than a model; it is a 25-inch long archive of human achievement. Whether you are captivated by the sleek lines of the 747 or the rugged utility of the Enterprise orbiter, this set delivers a museum-quality tribute to the machines that made the Space Shuttle program possible.
