42066

LEGO Technic 42066 Air Race Jet depicts a jet aircraft built for air racing within the Technic theme. Released in 2017, the set contains 1151 pieces and is a technical aircraft model with no minifigures.

Air Race Jet is part of LEGO Technic, a theme focused on mechanical structures, beams and function led building methods. The subject is a racing jet aircraft, so the aircraft is presented as a technical model rather than as a minifigure scale scene.

The set contains 1151 pieces and no minifigures. Its build uses Technic elements to create an identifiable fuselage, wings and tail section. Without adding unverified functions, the model can be described as a Technic interpretation of an aircraft, with the emphasis on structure and shaping through technical parts.

It suits builders who want a displayable vehicle and enjoy the construction style of Technic sets. In a Technic collection, it sits among aircraft based subjects, providing a contrast to road vehicles and construction machinery from the same theme. It is therefore useful for broadening a vehicle focused Technic display.
