I don't really know that much
about this model. I do have a built-up that I won on
ebay. It doesn't look bad, so it will probably be a while
before I get around to re-doing it. It does come with 2
sets of legs, so you can decide it you want it to stand
on 1 leg or 2.
For some reason, I just can't get excited about this kit.
Might be because it is a bird. I know they were
predators, but c'mon. A bird. No where near as much fun
as a dinosaur. The kit itself looks ok. The seams aren't
bad, and are in fairly easy to hide spots. The base is
interesting with a nest, some plants. The flying reptile
that comes with this is the same as the one in the swamp.
The wings, beak, and legs are movable on this kit._____________________________

recently auctioned this piece off on ebay for $2000.
This
is the original painting used to make the box for the
Aurora Prehistoric Scenes kit of the "Giant
Bird". The colors of the painting are much brighter
than the photo shows. The frame measures 22 x 18 1/2
inches. The painting shows more than the cropped down
image on the box. It was aquired in 1997 from Bill
Bruegman of Toy Scouts, Inc. He purchased it, along with
other paintings, from an ex Aurora employee.
