LEGO SET 60289 - Alternate build | Airshow Jet Transporter
Soaring Beyond the Runway: 12 Creative Alternate Builds with LEGO Set 60289-1 Airshow Jet Transporter
From the roar of jet engines to the hiss of hydraulic landing gear, the LEGO® City 60289-1 Airshow Jet Transporter is packed with play potential straight out of the box. But what if we told you those sleek white and blue bricks could become so much more? Imagine a helicopter slicing through storm clouds, hot-rod racers thundering down a dirt track, or a streamlined starfighter cutting arcs through the galaxy—all built using only the pieces from this single set.
In its official configuration, 60289-1 dazzles as a transporter rig designed to haul an F-22-inspired jet to the world’s biggest aerial festivals. Yet, thanks to the ingenuity of the LEGO MOC community, a dozen stunning alternative models breathe new life into these same bricks. From Keep On Bricking’s ingenious “United Five In One” collection to dLegooo’s high-octane “Racing Car” and even a charming “Reverse Builded Car,” each design offers a fresh narrative for your bricks.
These alternate builds invite you to explore: Could those same slopes and wings become a nimble spider scampering across LEGO® pavement? Or transmute into a muscle car roaring past skyscrapers? By embracing out-of-the-box thinking, you’ll discover how to stretch your imagination—and your parts inventory—to its absolute limits. Whether you’re a seasoned MOC enthusiast or a City set newcomer, these models showcase how creativity can turn a single set into an entire fleet of vehicles, creatures, and machines.
