Perfect pairings for LEGO Icons 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft
LEGO Icons 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is launching next week, and you can prepare your space or aviation display accordingly with these sets.
The new LEGO 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft will land on shelves starting early on May 15 for LEGO Insiders for £199.99 / $229.99 / €229.99 to LEGO Insiders, and on May 18 for everyone else. That leaves you with just over one week to prepare your collection for the massive model, and one of the most detailed LEGO plane sets to date.
Here are three current and recent relevant models you can pair ideally with the new LEGO Icons set, in addition to other older space and aviation sets you might own from years gone by.
10341 NASA Artemis Space Launch System
LEGO Icons 10341 NASA Artemis Space Launch System is such an obvious pairing for 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft that it’s even included alongside the new build in official imagery. It’s one of the most recent LEGO NASA models, representing a mission planned for 2026. This allows it to contrast perfectly with 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, which represents a pair of vehicles from 1977. The 3,601-piece set is available now for £219.99 / $259.99 / €259.99.
10318 Concorde
Moving beyond the NASA link in 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, 10318 Concorde is another perfect model to pair with the new LEGO Icons set. The display stands are practically identical, and the planes are posed at the same angle. The two will combine to make an amazing aviation display based on an iconic era of flight. You can expand such a display with a recreation of an even earlier aircraft, too. You can pick it up now for £169.99 / $199.99 / €199.99.
10363 Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine
10363 Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine envisions one of the most iconic sketches from Leonardo da Vinci into a functional LEGO model, depicting early ideas for aviation that in part helped to inspire the likes of Concorde and the modified Boeing 747. It’s available now for £54.99 / $49.99 / €59.99 to expand an aviation display without breaking the bank.
10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery
While it was recently retired from the shelves, you can still score the huge 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery on Amazon for not much more than the 2021 set’s retail price. Amazon UK has the set in stock now for £225.99 instead of £169.99. It’s an entirely different scale to 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, but there’s no doubt that it will pair perfectly with the upcoming LEGO Icons set.
