Yeah that's a pretty awesome touch. Part of me wishes they'd made room to include a printed 1x1 tile with a footprint on it, but the rest of the set looks so well-built it's hardly a problem.

I really hope that's not how the plane looks in the movie, That looks more like an Eindekker than anything the allies had, and the insignia is way, Way, Way off.

Bear in mind that (as far as I can tell) LEGO gets the orders for the movie sets months before the actual films come out (stubby, correct me on this if I'm wrong, please).

Could also be a Bristol Monoplane:



Or something from between the wars. Or, y'know, something the studio just made up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Steel_Valkyrie]

Alright, fair enough, but, considering the amount of research they put into that insignia, I really doubt they put that much into the plane.
Plus, knowing lego's improving realism in models, they'd probably put something on the front of that prop if that was the case.

"Iron Man: Extremis Sea Port Battle" (which looks nothing like any scene in the film)...

... came about b/c a person from Marvel told the folks at LEGO "and in the climactic battle, they're gonna be fighting on a boat", & LEGO took that to mean "speedboat", not "container ship" (eh, the end result is an awesome little set anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

The movie is on tv right now and there is a speed boat.
They use it to get to where the big boat is.

The type of speed boat shown in Lego doesn't look like the boat in the movie at all.

Is there also a flamethrowing golf cart?

[Tzan]

I don't know, I didnt watch the entire thing yesterday, because I watched it a year ago.

[Insert_blank]

Nope it's just Fan Bing Bing doing product placement.

[Citation is I watched the movie in China]

So if the boat doesn't float, I assume the mech does fly and the rockets do explode.
