This kit comes in Young's standard heavy cardboard box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam. The small parts are sealed in a zip lock bag to insure against loss during shipment.

Above you see multiple views of the separate cast head with the facial features typical of a Native American.

Above you see the four sides of the Raven which attaches to the back of the head.

Conclusion:
Another excellent kit produced by Young Miniatures. Mold blocks need to be removed carefully. All dry-fitting was good. Highly recommended!

Another magnificent sculpt from Carl and again personally am so happy for him that he's riding on the crest of this successful wave as he rightly deserves for being such a great down to earth man, apart from his exceptional immortal sculpting talent!!!!

As always, great review from Guy and the box art by Ju Wong Jung justifies the sculpt/cast

Wow, what an incredible piece of sculpting. Talk about eye appeal. And so
much colour harmony in the painting of this beautiful piece. The way the
artist used highlights of light blues and light greens throughout the
composition is just stunning. Lovely photographis as well.
