≈ 45 minSuggested range15 min – 1 h 15 minBased on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.
How we estimate times · sources and method
A small mech with joints and a transformation, plus maintenance tools. Includes checking the final configurations. The three central durations are model-specific editorial assessments. Planning ranges extend approximately from 65% to 145%, rounded to quarter-hours; they are not measured experience-level averages or guaranteed limits.
Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

Flight comes from the character’s fantastic body itself, keeping him recognisable across different vehicles, environments and appearances beside Sonic.
A less familiar name
His real name is Miles Prower. A passion for mechanics leads him to build numerous vehicles to help Sonic.
