Tailspin: Sea Duck & Higher for Hire

This build replicates a favorite TV show of mine from 1990; Tailspin. Baloo, Kit, Rebecca, and Molly are here with the Sea Duck (SD) and Higher For Hire (HFH). There is cargo (bananas/apples in crates, barrels, and boxes) to be loaded, flown to customers, maybe a pit stop over at Louie's along the way! Kit will be enjoying some cloud surfing too.

The back cargo door opens wide for easy loading and surfing. The dual rudders, elevators, and ailerons all move as do all doors on the SD and at HFH. The windsock at the top of HFH rotates to show the direction of the wind. The HFH roof sections are all individual pieces to match the metal roof design in the show. The seawall has boulders to break up the waves. A combination of tile and open studs allows for Minifigure placement around HFH with detail (boards on the dock, cobblestone on land). The SD can be opened to place both Baloo and Kit at the controls. Large build with SD at 66 x 58.3 x 15.6 studs, HFH at 56 x 82.6 x 69.4 studs.
