Plego Bird Collection Selasphorus Platycercus Paper Kit

Plego Bird Collection Selasphorus Platycercus Paper Kit

The broad-tailed hummingbird is easy to spot, especially if you live in Mexico or Central America. Undoubtedly, it’s not a well-known bird in Europe, but it enjoys great popularity worldwide. Its broad tail, iridescent fuchsia throat, and the position of its wings—as if suspended in the air ready to pollinate a flower—make this bird one of Plego’s must-haves. This model is designed to be hung like a mobile.

The kit includes 4 sheets of dyed-pulp art paper, made of 50% cotton and light resistant, as well as 3 sheets with metallic, iridescent inks, a fact file with the broad-tailed hummingbird’s main characteristics, and instructions for assembly, all in 8 different languages. The parts come pre-cut with marked folds to make folding and assembly easier. All these materials are packaged in an attractive and durable envelope folder. White craft glue is needed to glue the parts of the model.

Size completed bird approx. 20,5cm. Difficulty: 3/6
