This is the ugliest plane I have ever seen in an official set. Someone was paid
good money to design this and came up with that. Someone is paid good money
to review it said it looks good. And someone else being paid better money said
ok we will release it. I'm being paid nothing to say it's hideous.
Now
won't win any prizes it at least looks like the plane used.
Yes it's all better than Jack Stone, but that's a very low bar to clear.

+1 ...told my grandson last saturday in the toy shop that this set was probably
made by a junior designer with a hangover on a mondaymorning.

I have always wanted this plane, but still haven't acquired one.

That is a nice plane. I have built that set and always meant to turn my second
one into a Tri-engine. But now that would mean opening it. Hard to do looking
and what they are selling for. See they can design a good-looking plane so why
didn't they. Yes I know price point is an issue but still it's no excuse
to put out ugly product.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the wings and engines on 7628 kinda
suck and if I owned one, I would definitely redesign them much better.

There's always room for improvement. Back when it was affordable, I would
buy 3 copies of a set. One to build per the instructions, the other 2 to build
as it should have been made. Lonfer/wider/taller/ more details. But even the
basic sets have gotten too expensive. No $5 sets anymore like that
is the polybag price point. The $5 sets are now $10. and so on. Yes, prices
increase with time, but it still feels like the value is lacking.
