Super Soarer - 6912

This set is almost entirely insignificant to LEGO's history. However, for me, this was the beginning - the very first LEGO set I ever owned. While my original copy is a little worse for wear, I still have fond memories of swooshing the jet around, folding in the landing gear, and with the stubbornness of a child, attempting to rebuild it into a school bus. (Weird phase). Thus, I decided it was the perfect set for me to pay tribute to. This 53-part recreation is roughly half the size of the original (which wasn't very big to begin with). In addition, it features functional landing gear. In the images above, I have shown every angle of the miniature version, as well as a comparison with the original plane.

I hope you enjoy, and happy 90th birthday, LEGO!
