Meng 1/300 Atreides Ornithopter (MMS-011)

Today I am going to tell you more about Meng 1/300 Atreides Ornithopter (MMS-011). As you can notice on the boxart, plastic kit will copy quite unusual aircraft from the famous movie. This one is molded in small scale and should take less space on your shelf. There is a bigger version too, but you will need way more time for it. Packaging is typical for this brand, so frames come in plastic bag. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another kit in bigger scale.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.


First frame comes with landing gear parts. Note that all parts are molded out of dark green plastic, so some beginners can even build the kit without painting.


Separate wings are molded as one-piece element. Overall attention to details looks great for this size. Thin attachment points will also come handy.


Whole fuselage should be glued out of several sections. Nevertheless, those come as one-piece ones, so it should be easy to combine them together.


Model stand looks great and should be handy for displaying your model in flight.


As you might have noticed, there are no clear parts, only decals. Well, those should be easier to handle, but it might be also good idea to mask everything and airbrush black color with some shading. Assembly manual is printed on the rear side of the box.


Small Ornithopter should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great chance for all movie fans to have this aircraft on the shelf. Moreover, price is quite reasonable, and you get a lot of features out of the box. Yes, clear parts could be useful, but I guess Meng reserved it for bigger model.
