Share

LEGO has unveiled its latest collector’s masterpiece: the LEGO® Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, a highly detailed tribute to one of the most iconic partnerships in aerospace history — the NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise and the Boeing™ 747™ Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.

The 2,417-piece set recreates the historic duo that paved the way for modern space travel, offering fans the chance to build both the modified Boeing 747 transport plane and its spacefaring passenger, the Shuttle Enterprise. Designed with aviation and space enthusiasts in mind, the model highlights the technological achievement and spirit of exploration that defined an era.

The Boeing 747 replica features a sleek fuselage, deployable 18-wheel landing gear, and a shuttle mounting system. The Space Shuttle Enterprise is equipped with realistic details including detachable engines, an attachable tail cone, and stowable landing gear housed within its cargo bay. A custom display stand with information plaques completes the presentation, making it as suitable for display as it is for an immersive building experience.
