Description
Adopted as the national emblem of the United States in 1782, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is one of the largest birds in North America, with a real-world wingspan that can exceed seven feet. This metal model kit captures that wingspan and talons-up landing stance in steel. The kit comes with 2.5 pre-printed flat steel sheets, along with detailed instructions on how to snip out the pieces and assemble them using tabs and slots—no glue or soldering needed.
