Description
Quetzalcoatlus was a creature that lived during the Cretaceous period, approximately 65 million years ago in what is now North America.
It belongs to a popular family of flying reptiles, the pterosaurs, specifically the so-called azhdarchids, known for being large, for not having teeth and for having rigid and peculiarly long necks.
Azhdarchids existed in different geographical areas around the world, which is why scientists do not rule out the idea that they could fly despite their enormous dimensions. If so, they are the largest flight-capable living beings of all time.
The WONDER Artistic Models Quetzalcoatlus model boasts a high level of detail and versatility. Thanks to ingenious assemblies, it can be placed both in ground pose and in flight pose. For the latter, a couple of additional extremities on the left side are included in the package so that the model looks truly dynamic in both poses.
Another design and engineering achievement in this model is its neck. This is sectioned into 4 parts: 1 at the base of the skull with which you will be able to position your head in 3 angles from right to left, and another 3 sections will allow you to choose from a wide range of poses from top to bottom. Combining these assemblies, you will be able to fix the neck in multiple positions.
Undoubtedly, the Quetzalcoatlus buildable model is a worthy representation of this prehistoric king of the heavens, and could not be missing from your collection. In other words, this beautiful piece would look amazing in your personal display that turns your home into a museum.

Next up, we have the Quetzalcoatlus. The Model of this Azhdarchid is huge!! It towers over most other models, except the Brachiosaurus. The articulation on this one is also great, furthermore the model is suitable for beginners. If you are a pterosaur lover, this one will make you more than happy!

This model is epic! It’s huge, it’s robust, it really gives a sense of scale and I had a lot of fun assembling it. I love how customizable it is, being able to position the head and neck differently, and open or close the mouth. And that’s just for the standing position. There are separate pieces for use in the flying position, either using a stand or hanging in the air. So it will continue to engage me into the future as I try out different looks for it. 100% recommend this.

This Quetzalcoatlus was a lot fun to put together. It was pretty easy to build it and I was able to figure out how to do the standing or flying position from the instructions. I hung it from the ceiling with string and it looks great.
