She's ecstatic. The damn thing's gonna be a meter tall when done! She said we can display it in the living room :^) I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the Mill Falcon next :^)))

Anyone have a Rick Focker F-14 that matches the transforming of the old models? Hey, Lego, you think $500 for the Falcon was nuts? Partner with BanDai and Mattel and make us some transforming icons of the Anime age and...

With the Weird Science reference.

So I've alway wondered if these guys just buy assorted lego by the barrel or if they design and then buy just the pieces they need.

And a LEGO C-17 (imagine the size of a LEGO C-5) would be awesome!

The winner for me here is the Hawkeye model.

Now please, make me an F-14 tomcat with the Jolly Roger on the tail fins!

I second Strider's B-17 recommendation. The B-52 is an awesome aircraft, but the B-17 is a more elaborate piece to capture.

This is the base I live on, and I see the real versions of these planes everyday. who made these? was he air force?

By of course, the designers dont really want that and lego isnt smart enough to market these things....

Ditto on LEGO based models for adults. The Sukhoi is a nice addition along with the other American planes. Though how about a Typhoon or Tornado as well?

I mean the Mel Falcon is cool (BTW where's the darned update?!?!?) but maybe its the scale aircraft modeler in me, or the Lego nerd, or a combo of both, but this is far and away the coolest Lego project I've ever seen.

From the folding wings on the E-2C down to the blue/grey/light grey cammo on the Sukhoi; its all amazing. To me this even tops all of the giant Lego models displayed at the Lego masters displays in the mall when I was a kid.

@strider_mt2k:
Or how bout a 1/72 (or bigger) B-29? or hell even a large scale B-52 would be redical.....

Todays adults were avid pastime Lego builders when they were younger. Challenging models like these will bring them back to building (just like that star wars set).

If I was going for WWII era I guess..

A B-52 would be insane...

The working variable wing geometry is really cool...
