It was pure pleasure to follow the building log of this bird, a lot of work, and skills was needed to make this beautiful realistic model. Congratulations to Louis

Very nice, but it would be helpful if the features had something to indicate the scale. I presume this is quarter scale from the detailing, but it could be smaller....

In any case, lovely work, very realistic.
