What do WANGE make?

WANGE's best-known range is architecture: detailed brick models of famous buildings on a display base, often with a printed name plate. They are the kind of build you finish and then keep on display, which makes them a great way to remember a trip or dream about the next one.

The WANGE landmarks we stock

Paris

The 5210 Notre-Dame de Paris (1,380 pieces) recreates the cathedral's Gothic front and towers and measures about 36.5 × 17.5 × 25.8 cm. The 5223 Arc de Triomphe (1,399 pieces) is about 27 cm tall, with its great central arch, carved panels and statue groups.

London

London has the most choice. The 6215 London Eye (1,528 pieces) is about 48 cm tall, with the white wheel, its 32 capsules and a riverboat on the promenade below. The 5215 Tower Bridge has its two Gothic towers, walkways and blue suspension chains, the 5216 Big Ben stands about 63 cm tall, and the 6224 Buckingham Palace (1,695 pieces) includes the Victoria Memorial in front of the palace.

Berlin and Sydney

The 6211 Brandenburg Gate measures about 46.5 × 24 × 23.5 cm, so Berlin's famous gate makes a wide, impressive display. The 8210 Sydney Opera House is the biggest WANGE set we stock: 2,937 pieces, with the white sail-shaped roof shells, the podium and grand staircase on a harbour-front base, about 62 cm wide.

Beyond buildings

The 4006 P-51 Mustang is a quick build of 258 pieces: the famous fighter aircraft in dark grey and silver, with a clear cockpit canopy, a large propeller and a wingspan of about 43 cm.

Why WANGE architecture sets are fun to build

Building a landmark is a little like visiting it. You see how the arches, towers and windows fit together, and you notice details you would walk straight past in real life. Each WANGE landmark has a clear shape, so you can watch it grow step by step, and the finished model looks great on a shelf or in a study.

They also work well as family projects. All the WANGE sets we stock are rated 6+, so a child can build alongside a parent, perhaps before or after a city trip. A London set after a visit to London, or Notre-Dame before a weekend in Paris, makes the trip even more memorable.

Which WANGE set should I choose?

  • A quick, affordable build: the 4006 P-51 Mustang at €29.95.
  • A first landmark: the Arc de Triomphe or Notre-Dame at €64.95.
  • A tall showpiece: Big Ben (about 63 cm) or the London Eye.
  • The big project: the Sydney Opera House, with 2,937 pieces.
