42152 - Firefigher Aircraft

[Polarlicht]

There was a single-engine fire plane set in like 2015 which was smaller, but had similar functions (prop and flat 2 was driven by the wheels instead and landing gear was fixed on pontons, water hatch had a rubber band), but also had a joystick in the rear section to control all the rudders and such.

Much cooler than I initially thought, with the propeller mechanism and all. But it's still quite ugly, I don't like the boxy shape that much.

Thanks @kbalage for the nice review!

It's actually much curvier than the real life counterpart:


I guess it's only missing the floats at the wing tips... Never mind. The set is modeled after a land only plane like the Q400.

One of the best Technic models I've ever built.

Ah, there she is :D

Fantastic promotion shots and nice idea with the transparent BMW rims for displaying the propellor motion!
