Note: This model was retired in 2014
Acclaimed paleoartist Tony McVey was well known to the prehistoric model "garage kit" market throughout the nineties, and provided the Sideshow Dinosauria line with his superb Spinosaurus sculpt in 2009. McVey joined Dan's Dinosaurs in 2013 to release a new line of resin models, beginning with this massive 1:6 scale reconstruction of the classic raptor, Deinonychus.
Like all resin kits, this model ships disassembled and unpainted, and may require some slight cleanup. It is cast to order, a meticulous process which may take several weeks before the final model is ready to ship.
