Congratulations, I'd never guess that Papo would be the first releasing it among major brands. There is the AAA version but this one has a much more traditional design.
Good to see how it looks together with other river friends.
I think this topic can be moved to walk arounds section.

These AAA birds are often painted in a strange way, maybe it represents a different species of kingfisher. An azure kingfisher or something like that. If anyone find a better match, I can certainly move it to the correct species page.

Very clearly it represents Alcedo atthis or common kingfisher. The colours are not much inaccurate, just painted in a bit simplistic way. Both Ceyx azureus and any other kingfisher species would have different distribution of colours, especially on the head.

It was very kind from you to check it. I am glad it was originally correctly identifyied and now I've seen it was Susanne who did it. :)

I need this beautiful bird, too.

I've seen a real kingfisher flying over the river Saale, which is near by my home.

Nice little bird, a king without a doubt. I only saw one in my life but i can't forget it drunken

I bought this model, the Kitan and Kaiyodo ones. I need some light, some free time and I will make a comparison topic.
