Thanks Jeroen ! No, it is a terrible kit by Amati .It is not made anymore and I know why.I pretty much had to do all the research myself.The bird, however, is made out of one piece of Tupelo wood my me many years ago.I didn't want the bird to be just another decorative bird sitting on a base so I am incorporating the bird and aircraft together into one large diorama.Of course once having been a pilot myself my love for aircraft and birds are synonymous.
