About the Design

Inspired by the Marvel comic books that served as the basis for the mega-hit 2012 motion picture, the Quinjet is a multi-role jet aircraft employed by the super-secret international agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Serving as both a transport and tactical fighter, the Quinjet can take-off and land vertically using the two turbofans embedded in its variable-shape wings. The cockpit also tilts to provide the pilots with better visibility during landings.

About the Kit

Released by Fantastic Plastic Models in December 2013, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet kit was mastered by Scott Lowther and cast by Acme Design, Inc. Decals are by JBOT. The 1:72 scale kit features blue-tinted vacuform canopies, a tilting cockpit and the option to build the plane in either its in-flight or landing configurations.
