Nice model except the very bad exhaust pipes. No original bird would have them showing like that.

Agreed. The model is nice, but the exhaust pipes caught my attention.

Lots of nice, but it sure sits high up, almost like an AMC Eagle 4wd.

An easy fix. Base is probably resin so grind off the oversized ones with a Dremel tool and replace with some easily bendable solder of the correct diameter. Many diameters available at hardware stores.

Agreed. It's about a scale 1 1/2" to 2" to high.

It's so beaky I'd have called it the Macaw. But they were so sharp looking from from the back and rear quarter view that I may need one.
And the pipes and ride hight should be easy to alter.
