Platypus Model Kit

Description

Celebrate one of nature’s most curious creatures with the Platypus model kit—a medium-sized build designed for hobbyists aged 8 and up. With its distinctive bill and streamlined body, this unique monotreme offers a fun and accessible building experience for younger builders, wildlife fans, and creative minds alike. Once assembled, the model stands confidently on its own and can be rebuilt or glued together for a permanent display. The MDF surface is ideal for painting, allowing you to customise your platypus with natural tones, bold colours, or imaginative patterns.

Assembly Tip: Arrange the middle section pieces from largest to smallest around the head before attaching them to the body.
