- The LEGO Technic 42152 Firefighter Aircraft is the third set of the March 2023 wave I review. It looks like a boxy and not too exciting Technic build for the first sight, but believe me it hides a very cool mechanism that will make you smile for sure!

I can totally imagine a mod where you add a sort of a pistol grip below so you can swoosh the plane while triggering the engines all with one hand.
bro... how old are you

@@wikkidize Bro, why are you here? You obviously never did something for others in your life.
@ That's a pretty smart modification for this set
I'd say this set is actually what technic is really about. Nice, simple model with some awesome play feature.
I hope they make more airplanes like this. Maybe even as Creator sets, that would be amazing. The engine mechanism is very nice and you see how it's built too which is a good learning experience.
I hope so too. I'd really like a bigger and more detailed model, specifically something like the CL-415 Super Scooper. Two of those came just in time to keep a wildfire from overrunning our town in 2017, and at one point there were four of them flying in a line, dropping water then refueling at a nearby lake.
I’d certainly agree
May not look the most accurate, but the functions definitely make up for it. The propeller mechanism is both brilliant super effective. Also builds much larger than expected.
I love Technic Aircraft sets, hopefully we can get them more often in the future :)
The function looks great! It immediately reminded me of the 8232: Chopper Force from my childhood, it contained a virtually identical mechanism. Nice review, as always!
Also the Creator 31011 Aviation Adventures. Same slide back and forth with a ratchet for spinning the propellor. Great combo of Technic and System
Yes, 8232 also sprung into my mind first when seeing the gear rack ratcheting mechanism. Glad to have it in my Technic collection too.
That mechanism looks alot like the one inside 4403 Air Raiders, one of the greatest Creator Helicopters ever IMO.
Hoping Lego aviation continues to increase the realism
I’d like to see some fighter jets. Like licensing from Top Gun and paramount
As much as I would've loved a technic Tomcat or a Super Hornet, Lego don't really like doing military vehicles to say the least. But in general Lego should do more aviation, I'm missing a proper airliner or GA aircraft from lego.
@jordanruitenschild4683 I agree. Considering what happened to the Lego Osprey, I think modern military aircraft are not happening again. I just want something new that is really detailed, like the 10226 Sopwith Camel was. An airliner would be amazing.
That propeller mechanism reminds me of the big red helicopter from 4403, there it was even cooler as you could press the sides of the helicopter to make the rotor spin. Also it had the landing gear system much quicker. An amazing set way ahead of its time!
So glad to see someone mentioning 4403! :)
It’s amazing how you’re able to upload so often while still making brilliant videos! I’ve been excited to see you’re review of this set. Great video!
I love the mechanism of the propellers..good video. I give you a like
i really like that they added actual mechanism to the propellers. nice set
Wouldn't be technic without it. Even the smallest technic prop plane sets will have movable propellers that are rotated by driving the plane across the ground
"Play features" are actually what people call "functions" which we need more in Technic. So more play features likes this!
Yeah! Im soooo excited for this one! Nice reviews Racingbrick!
Beauty. Can't wrap my head around that gearing mechanism
Opening these types of boxes with a knife always gives me a strange feeling, since they’re supposed to be opened with your thumbs. I always use my thumbs.
Don’t take my previous statement too seriously, as I know that you do that to do as little damage to those boxes as possible, but I’m the type of person that never goes against the instructions. The instructions say to open with your thumbs, so that’s how I do it.
Anyways, I really love this set. Despite me being almost 20, I absolutely LOVE running around really fast with this airplane while pulling the lever to spin the propellers! I felt like a 7 year old kid again and not a lot of technic sets do that these days to me. This set is absolutely fantastic and wonderful!
Last time you called the ailerons "flaps". You got it right this time. For some reason that makes me for more happy than it should.
The "elevator" also! Actually, that's a stabilator, but only because it combines the non-moving "horizontal stabiliser" with the elevator. Those aeronautical engineers have a lot of fun with names. Ailerons + flaps = flaperons, elevators + ailerons = elevons, and so on.
Love your videos!
This is quintessential technic, perfect balance of looks and fun functions!!
Nice review of a set that turns out better than expected. I can advise you to check out set 4403 (Air Blazers) from 2003, which has a very similar mechanism to drive the helicopter rotor. And a very cool landing mechanism to boot. And that all in a Creator-like set;)
Very impressive propeller mechanism! I hope we will see more mechanisms like that in the future
Many people don’t like the Technic theme very much, but I think it’s the most interesting and exciting theme! Also, Awesome job! 🎉
i loved this set
Looks like this is going to be a definite buy for me! Incredible set!
I just ordered the Ford yesterday after watching your review. Wasn't into the look of the plane, and these are two vastly different sets obviously, but my kids would get more out of this one.
The message is clear and consistent in your videos: non-licensed sets are where the designers showcase their creativity and love for interesting Technic mechanics! Lesson learned!
Great video! Can't wait to buy this set!😃
I have been waiting all week for this video 🎉🎉
This plane looks so cool! As an aviation and Lego enthusiast, the firefighter plane looks a whole lot like a Bombardier Dash Q400
One of my favourite set by far
I love this set sooo much I might get 2 copies of this so I can upgrade it from a Q300 to a Q400
I miss those days when we all build legos in are bedrooms
It’s an interesting set for sure
As a kid I´d be of course running around with the plane and pressing the propeller mechanism at the same time while making airplane noises, so you could use both hands x>
This is one of the coolest technic planes, tottally gonna bjy this
This function makes me feel like this is the first actual Technic set they've made in years.
Cool video. I love this set
It's almost perfect set!
I love this uniqe machanism.
Tuti megveszem. Egyből megtetszett, ahogy megláttam. Köszi a tippet a radírral. Működik és felületet sem karcol, bár görcsbe állt a kezem a végére. :D
Very cool set
I have this at the top of my christmas list this year so im really excited to see if i get it 😮
Woaaaahhhh I want this (definitely not just because of the propeller mechanism 😅) Its a very cool set and as always a good review by RacingBrick
This is the coolest set of this wave in my opinion. It looks really nice and the functions are great as well. I am going to buy because i'm into planes. Great video
Lego has actually made *several* sets in the past with this sort of mechanism. The only times I have ever seen them have a model be “swooshable” and have propellers constantly spin in a single direction was by giving the model a handle and trigger.
damn, that propellor mech is so cool!
Thank you from Türkiye .
That has to be one of the better sets of the recent technic years :o
I agree, last years technic theme is like speed Champions with Technic pieces.
Lego Technic set 8232 "Chopper Force" from '97 have similar gear rack teeth-skipping design!
That mechanism is very similar to the one in Lego Agents 8971 Arial defense unit. Loved that set as a kid
뭔가 유명한 브랜등디 라이센스가 아니어도 충분히 멋있고 색상이 독특한 비행기👍
BTW this technics was firstly used in 31094 Lego Creator Plane set) Funny to see it in technic form, it's more complicated here but do the same what classic lego can))
When I was a kit I had a Technic set with a very similar mechanism but even more compact, it was in set 8232 Chopper Force
just wanted to say the same. 1997 year
It's funny to me how many people sign off with "see you next time". 😄
Thank you for your wonderful review ! Now I expect that you install a pull back motor getting loaded through the handle of the propeller mechanism...
"a box with two wings" - well said :) But the propeller mechanism is really cool, it reminds me a red copter from 90th
The appearance is a bit of a blend of the De Havilland Twin Otter with the later Dash 8
This set gives me same vibes as that old red jet technic set I had in childhood
I hope Lego will make a set of the old plane the DC3. It will look awesome 😎
I compare this one with the other fire plane: 42040. That's a really cool set as well, nice to see an update (and this set is much bigger).
It’s very nice! Has that mechanism like this been used before, a ratchet trigger and a flywheel of sorts for the engines?
Maybe add an electric motor for the propellers? Back in the day many technic kits where skeletons, so really nice to see complete models nowadays.
Bought this today😀
That ratcheting propeller mechanism reminds me of 31011, the Creator 3in1 set called Aviation Adventures, where the tail gear can be pumped back and forth in a similar way to spin the propeller. It's done much more simply than here too where a rubber piece acts like a spring to allow the gears to engage one way but not the other, if I remember correctly.
I think something interesting can be found in comparing this set to the old Black Hawk (8425) which I was lucky to own once (I'm certain I could still rebuild it, perhaps getting a few replacement pieces from bricklink) - both are two engine turboprop aircraft with comparable functions (running propellers, deployable landing gear, movable flight surfaces). I think Technic went a little astray by relying so much on panelling. The old set used old style technic beams, which were basically System beams but with added pin/axle holes and left large chunks portions of the mechanics visible which was in my opinion super cool and, while I understand the desire to differentiate Technic experience from System experience, I think building with more typical brickbuild techniques was actually more fun that the current approach of using large panels and covering everything.
I totally forgot about this set!
That mechanism is quite similar to the twin rotor chopper from LEGO Agents
It still is one of my favourite play features
Excellent building review, Balázs!
Now this is what I call proper LEGO Technic. Cool functions, realistic looking without an unnecessary license just to make it more expensive, swooshable, even the color scheme is much better than last years Airbus helicopter. Could it be another M.K creation?
How much does this set weigh compared to the Ford GT (which is 10€ more expensive)?
Simillar propeller mechanism was in 31011 lego creator set. This technic plane looks really cool!
I might ask to get this for my birthday
my birthday was yesterday so i really want to get this for myself to build
This one looks interesting
the same mechanism for propeller was in old helicopter 8232. And there you could do it with one hand
I want to see more cars! :)
Muito bom.. obrigado.
a similar mechanism to that first one is featured in 9396 rescue heli alternate build and it is used to rotate main rotors
For the size and functions, not bad for $100. I'll be adding that to my collection. As always, your builds and opinions are greatly appreciated.
i have this lego techinic!
Nem tudnám elégé hangsúlyozni, hogy milyen jó, hogy angolul csilálja ezeket a videókat. Szerintem iskolákban kellene használni, mint kiegészítő anyag!
It be cool to see a way bigger technic plane that has a ton of functions like working fake engines or even powered up propellers
Bro has the rare v22 osprey!
we definitely need more aircraft! .. more functions as with the cyclic in the rescue 'copter a plane with yoke controlling flaps, ailerons etc. Maybe a fighter jet, old style sweep wing F14 or cool looking typhoon / F35. Airliners like concorde or old miliary 4-engine bombers. Maybe even a titanic-sized aircraft carrier with small jets.
You’re the best
That propeller is cool 😎 but overall, I still prefer my 42025 set. It is nice to see Lego taking time to develop interesting triggering mechanism rather than sticking a motor into everything to bump the price up. Will I buy this? Of course ☺️
As soon as I saw those 2x2 "water" pieces I thought hey, LEGO is finally taking seriously the problem of droppable/fireable pieces from play features going missing in the carpet...
Great set i would get it if it was a licensed one or if i had the space still pretty good
Definitely this airplane is trying to be a DHC 5
I'm still amazed with the Osprey, i don't know why but there is something in it...
Would be great to see à DC3 detailed as the airbus helicoptere
That was very cool. You say it's not licensed, but, lets be honest. It's a cross between a de Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo and a de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 first generation. Hey, both Canadian planes! No wait, both EXCELLENT Canadian planes - even down to the colouring (the Buffalo in SAR mode had that paint scheme). Maybe I’ll get this!
Looks like a nice set but I am really hoping for the community to make an Osprey alt build. Will be checking Rebrickable often.
Omg that would be incredible.
I remember the old seaplane from the 1980s, an updated one would be nice
Question: Do you know if the place where the water goes can fit like a hotwheels car? A hotwheels car is like ~4 studs wide by maybe 9 studs long?
When wil you do the speedchampions McLaren 2pack
This’ll be great for some kids to easily mod it to a bomber aircraft
I am actually getting it on October 21 because it was my birthday day on. Sep 6
i wish it had a joystick to control the control surfaces like the old technic fire plane had
YES. REVVABLE ENGINE. The last set that could do that was the Mustang looking Creator set from....2014? Basically a P-51 Mustang in awful colors. Might pick this one up. Thanks for the review RB.
Which one would you recommend more this fire plane or Ford gt
I just got this set recently, and I really like it, but I can’t get the rear landing gear to go up, I can force it up eventually, but it’ll fall back down due to gravity and other factors, idk what I’m doing wrong
this is clearly based on one of the Q family of aircraft likely a Q300 so props should turn in the same direction. also the gear not lifting the aircraft would be realistic. IF some how you sat any aircarft on its belly and tryed extend the gear it would fail. fixing the prop direction would be easy by just flipping one gear sets around.
"Not licensed" As it's just a very copyright friendly CL-415. Probably not hard to mod it to look like the real aircraft, just extend the wings and build up the tail more.
