We've just launched two purpose-built wall mounts for the LEGO Icons PAN AM Airliner (11378) — and if you've built this set, it's time to get it off the shelf and onto the wall where it belongs. With its iconic blue and white livery and graceful swept-wing silhouette, the PAN AM Airliner is one of the most beautiful LEGO Icons builds ever produced. Here's everything you need to know about our new display solutions for set 11378.
Why Wall Mount the LEGO PAN AM Airliner?
Aircraft are made to fly — and the PAN AM Airliner looks its absolute best in a flying pose on the wall. Its wingspan creates a striking horizontal silhouette that commands attention in a way that a flat shelf display simply cannot replicate. The retro blue and white Pan Am livery, the swept wings, and the elegant proportions of this iconic aircraft are all best appreciated from the side, at eye level — exactly what a wall mount delivers.
Wall mounting also solves a practical problem: the PAN AM Airliner's wingspan takes up considerable horizontal shelf space. Putting it on the wall frees up your shelves entirely whilst giving the aircraft the prominence it deserves.
Both new BrickNest wall mounts are designed specifically for set 11378, include all installation hardware (screws and wall plugs), and require no modification to your LEGO build.
New: Horizontal Flying Wall Mount (£19.99)
The Wall Display Mount for LEGO Icons PAN AM Airliner (11378) holds the aircraft in a classic horizontal flying pose, as if cruising at altitude across your wall. At £19.99, this is the premium option and the most visually impactful way to display the PAN AM Airliner.
The discreet black PLA bracket creates a clean floating effect, keeping all attention on the aircraft's iconic livery and silhouette. It's ideal for living rooms, home offices, aviation-themed display spaces, and anywhere you want the PAN AM Airliner to be the centrepiece.
Best for: Maximum visual impact, showcasing the full wingspan and retro livery of the PAN AM Airliner as a statement piece.
New: Vertical Climbing Wall Mount (£8.99)
The Vertical Wall Display Mount for LEGO Icons PAN AM Airliner (11378) presents the aircraft nose-up, as if climbing steeply after take-off. At £8.99, it's the more affordable option and creates a genuinely distinctive display that stands out from the typical horizontal aircraft presentation.
The vertical orientation works particularly well in narrower wall spaces — hallways, between windows, or alongside shelving units — where a horizontal mount wouldn't fit. The climbing pose adds a sense of energy and dynamism that's unique to this orientation.
Best for: Narrow wall spaces, hallways, and collectors who want a distinctive, space-efficient alternative to the standard flying pose.
Which Mount Should You Choose?
- Horizontal flying mount (£19.99) — classic aviation display, showcases the full wingspan, ideal as a statement centrepiece
- Vertical climbing mount (£8.99) — space-efficient, dynamic take-off pose, great value, perfect for narrower spaces
Both mounts are made from durable black PLA, include screws and wall plugs, and can be removed at any time without any damage to your LEGO build.
Display Tips for the LEGO PAN AM Airliner
The PAN AM Airliner's retro blue and white livery looks best against a neutral or light-coloured wall — a plain white or off-white background lets the colours pop beautifully. Position the horizontal mount at eye level for maximum impact, and ensure there's enough clear wall space around the model to appreciate the full wingspan. For the vertical mount, a slightly higher position adds to the sense of the aircraft climbing through the sky.
