Dune 1/72 Atreides Ornithopter

MENG is set to unveil the DS-007 1/72 Dune Atreides Ornithopter model kit, licensed from Legendary Entertainment. Inspired by Legendary’s Dune: Part Two, Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece Dune, this meticulously crafted model truly encapsulates the essence of this iconic aircraft. The Atreides Onithopter, distinguished by its eight agile wings, delivers remarkable lift through rapid wing flaps. This feature not only facilitates vertical takeoffs and landings, but also provides exceptional maneuverability and speed in flight. Ingeniously designed, the ornithopter’s wings can be retracted to allow for high-speed descents, preserving its signature agility.

The remarkable flying machine from the Dune universe is now available as an intricately designed model kit. It is a prized addition for Dune fans and a new challenge for modelers. This kit accurately captures the Atreides Ornithopter’s intricate details, from its agile wings to its landing gear. Every part is carefully crafted to offer a highly realistic representation and provide maximum enjoyment during assembly. The cockpit canopy is represented by a combination of frame components and transparent parts. The cockpit contains four crew member figures. The wings can unfold, fold and rotate. The fuselage houses linkage mechanisms that can independently make each pair of wings flap up and down on both sides. This kit includes two sets of interchangeable landing gear systems and a stand for the flight mode.
