Native Fantail (A6) is a compact, display-ready bird model kit that brings a native flutter of wildlife to your desk, shelf, or classroom wall. Cut with precision by a laser, it arrives as a flatboard kit printed in a selection of our coloured patterns, ready to be popped out and assembled with the included instructions.
What makes this kit special starts with the build experience. All pieces are laser-cut from MDF and remain neatly held in the board by tiny bridges. Gently push each piece out, follow the step-by-step guide, and you’ll transform a flat, 95 mm x 145 mm x 3 mm sheet into a tactile, three-dimensional fantail that measures 75 mm x 40 mm x 65 mm when assembled. The result is a sturdy, display-friendly model that looks polished without needing glue or complex tools.
Key features that set Native Fantail (A6) apart:
-
Precision laser-cut MDF for clean edges and precise interfits, helping you assemble quickly and accurately.
-
Flatpack convenience—the A6 footprint fits easily in a folder, envelope, or small gift box, making shipping and gifting a breeze.
-
Vibrant colour patterns—each kit is printed in a selection of our coloured patterns to add instant character and realism.
-
Real-world dimensions—flat size 95 mm x 145 mm x 3 mm; fully-assembled size 75 mm x 40 mm x 65 mm for an eye-catching desktop display.
-
No guesswork—clear instructions ensure a smooth build, even for first-time kit builders or young crafters (adult supervision recommended for younger makers).
Who is this ideal for? It’s perfect for bird enthusiasts who want a tangible representation of a native fantail, educators adding a tactile wildlife component to lessons, and crafters seeking a quick, satisfying project with a lasting display piece. It also makes a thoughtful, compact gift for kids learning about local fauna or anyone who enjoys hands-on, creative assembling.
Practical tips to get the most from your kit:
- Pop pieces out slowly along the pre-scored lines to preserve edges for a clean finish.
- Follow the included instructions in sequence for a trouble-free build.
- Display on a bookshelf, beside a window, or as a making-as-you-learn display in a science corner.
- Store the flatkit in its original packaging to protect the coloured patterns if not assembled immediately.
- If you like to customize, the MDF surface takes acrylic paints or markers well for a personalized touch.
Whether you’re shopping for a thoughtful present, stocking a craft drawer for quick projects, or building a mini wildlife display, Native Fantail (A6) delivers a satisfying, tangible connection to nature in a compact, ready-to-assemble form.
