Hopping swoosh
Miss Gail Storm!
One gal with a lovely plane.
One of my favourite sets on this line. I searched this on bricklink and got very happy when i bought it.
A nice plane converts into a boat and still doesn't lose its style.
As the propellers keep falling of (boys...), i did a little modification and inserted an antenna through it attached to a washing machine brick. It got stronger and very realistic because the round top of the antenna was turned out.
Another recomendation if you love all kinds of swooshy things :D

probably best plane ever
Miss Pipin Reed uses this Waterplane to fly from island to island to film new dinosaurs.
Instructions
The instruction is good you can clearly see what is added, there´s short but good instruction for an alternative modell, an boat
Parts
Good or special parts in this set are the pieces for a six wide boat hull, two big wingplates and two small one, two big brown propellers are also included. You get a old camera and a bagpack. The Dinosaur in the Set is a Pteranodon, its only one part, but looks pretty nice.
Minifigures
You only get the minifigure Pipin Reed, but i think it is enough.
The build
Building it is easy, but fun
The completed model
The comleted model is one of the biggest Airplane without big molds. The three colors are looking good. the Set has some play functions, like the foldable wings or the hold.
An other feature,that I like, is the posibility to let the tail and the wings including the engines "break of".
But there are small cons. probably the biggest is that the usabiltiy of the room inside is very limited. The swimmers on the side fell of easiely, but that is itSummary
This is a good set, for kids as well as for AFOLS or TFOLs. It´s good for modding to make it even better.

dino's rock
this plane rocks along with every other dino set. It has a nice amount of detail, it's fun to build and it looks good not only on the exterior but also on the interior. The dinosaur is cool and the best colour out of all the terrordetox thingys. This set was done realy well and the wing look extra awesome.

Best Plane Ever?
Unlike a lot of the new, over-sized planes, 5935 is a classic design, for a very reasonable price of $20.
Everything about this set is perfect, the colors go well, it's a fun build. There are tons of little details that are nice, like the propellers are attached to an engine that seems to fit the size of the plane. It comes with a nice, one piece, so called "dinosaur", but true dinosaurs didn't fly.
The plane also has a good amount of room in it. The front is obviously the cockpit, and behind that there is a hatch to store a weapon.
And one very important thing that is always great, there is a Lego woman flying the plane!
I have had this set since it came out 7.5 years ago, and I still have it built because it's just a wonderful design that Lego should be proud of.6 out of 14 people thought this review was helpful.
World War 2!
Oh so greatful, lego has really topped a world-war two looking cargoliner! The island hopper has large pontoons to land on water bodies and the large wings are realistic. A nice touch is an inclosed cockpit with a flap to open it. It did occur to me why the heck they put the photographer in the pilots seat, in the ONLY pilots seat! This airplane should seat two but has some good cargo bay space. The props and engines are very real looking and I just cant complain on anything else! A brilliant 10! get it now.
