There must be truth in that, all raptors have yellow iris's I believe. Especially noticeable in Owls. I am an occasional birder and have seen tiny birds with red eyes and some waterfowl like the Grebe also have them, but all our hawks and Eagles here in Oregon are yellow-eyed. |

Even though the link is Wiki I also found the same info at many other sites. the mature birds appear to have yellow eyes. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...lconBuller.jpg | |

Country:  | I think you both are right.Especially Tpikdave.These colours of the raptor's eye iris are very charakteristic for many species.As I remember this problem had been discussing with some ornithologists before thes eyes were painted.

Country: | Great model.Looking at the first pic I was sure this stuff is for jet engines for modellers.Fantastic.But the cost is unacceptable for most of young guys I think.
THX for posting NC.

Country: | It is incredible but shame he didn't provide more detail on how it was built. I could never spend that amount on a model and even if I did I'd be too scared of using it in case it crashed

Country: | I think that assembling of a such kind of models is the same like for classic models to a certain extend of course.The difference is the powerplant.As I remember the jet engines are sold with all the additional stuff.You have to buy a proper kit for your model only and put these pieces together.Unless you assemble a scratch-built model.

Country: | Very impressive, thanks NC. That's alot of money for a model - I think I'd be too sacred to fly it too,at that cost - one crash and 12 grand down the toilet... | |

Country: | Would be cool though. Especially putting some of that water exploding sodium in paper rockets or something on it and dropping them into water... Would be an impressive show... | |
