Product Background:
1. This original design is created and licensed by bru_bri_mocs.
The B2707-200 TWA MOC model kit is a faithful recreation of the famous American supersonic airliner concept. It features rich detailing, accurate scaling, and high playability.
2. Prototype Story: B2707 was America's entry in the 1960s supersonic transport race. Launched by President Kennedy in 1963 to rival Concorde and the Tu-144, it was larger, faster, and more ambitious. In 1967 Boeing won the FAA contract with a 300-passenger, Mach 2.7 design, beating Lockheed's L-2000. Three variants followed: the 2707-100, -200, and -300, the last replacing the earlier two. The -200 exposed the project's technical problems: a 306-foot fuselage, 675,000-pound takeoff weight, and a 4,600-pound titanium wing pivot. Unable to meet transatlantic range requirements, Boeing abandoned the variable-sweep wing in October 1968. Congress cut funding in 1971, and despite 115 orders from 25 airlines, no prototype ever flew. Boeing lost over 60,000 jobs, and the SST became known as "the plane that almost ate Seattle".

Product Features:
1. This MOC is a 1:80 scale model of the Boeing 2707-200 featuring the TWA livery. It combines classic bricks, plates, and tiles with extensive use of Technic parts and gears in its design. The model faithfully reproduces the shape of the original Boeing 2707-200; I obtained copies of the original blueprints, scanned them, and used them as a reference throughout the design process. Beyond its accurate appearance, the model fully replicates all the moving parts of the real aircraft: retractable landing gear, a droop nose, and swing wings.
2. These functions are driven by a hand crank connected to an internal gear mechanism. Turning the crank triggers the "magic": the nose drops, the wings extend outward, and the landing gear deploys, shifting the plane into landing configuration. Turning the crank in the opposite direction retracts the wings, raises the nose, and retracts the landing gear, returning the plane to its supersonic cruise state.
3. The model also features several manually adjustable moving parts, including leading-edge flaps, wing flaps, tail elevators, and the rudder.
4. The MOC set includes a display stand; the aircraft must be placed on the stand for the moving parts to operate correctly. A sticker sheet and assembly instructions are also included.
