PLANNOSAURUS Pteranodon

Discover the majestic PLANNOSAURUS Pteranodon, the seventh exciting entry in the BANDAI HOBBY PLANNOSAURUS series that brings prehistoric wonders to life through your own hands. This model kit allows enthusiasts to delve into the intricate anatomy of the iconic flying pterosaur, offering a unique educational building experience.

Experience the innovative "Skeletal Build" where you construct the internal bone structure of the Pteranodon, learning about dinosaur anatomy firsthand. Following this, the "Dinosaur Build" allows you to attach the outer skin parts, meticulously restoring the creature's appearance with the precision unique to plastic models. Assembly is straightforward and enjoyable, requiring no tools like nippers or adhesives.

The gigantic beak, featuring a delicate skeleton covered with sturdy keratin, is three-dimensionalized based on the latest scientific theories, including its mouth structure. The wing membrane, a defining characteristic of pterosaurs, realistically expresses the flow of strong streaky fibers on its surface. The unique "wing support" (pteroid bone), believed to have functioned as an elevator rudder, is reproduced based on the latest reconstructions. Furthermore, the special skeletal structure articulating the shoulder blades and torso vertebrae, essential for powerful wing flapping, is faithfully recreated.

This kit offers versatile display options. You can reproduce a "landing state" by selecting specific parts, showcasing the realistic wrinkles of the wing membrane when folded and the feet grounded to the heel. Alternatively, utilize the included pedestal to display the Pteranodon in its magnificent flying posture.
