Tamiya TM28502 1/35 Fukuisaurus ( Clic Loc Kit )

FUKUISAURUS

The age of the dinosaurs: an era that continues to fascinate as we make further discoveries and gain a deeper understanding of what was happening hundreds of millions of years ago.

Fukuisaurus is a herbivorous dinosaur believed to have lived around 120 million years ago in the Early Cretaceous period. Fossilised remains were discovered in Katsuyama City in Fukui, Japan, an area renowned for its fossil finds. It was the first dinosaur in Japan to have a fully reconstructed skeleton, and in 2003 it was given the species name Fukuisaurus tetoriensis: the former means “lizard of Fukui” and the latter refers to the Tetori Group, in whose Kitadani formation the fossilized remains were found. Fukuisaurus is believed to have grown to 5.2 meters in length and been able to move on two or four legs as needed. It clipped leaves off of vegetation with its beak-like mouth and chewed them with its back teeth.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence in the fossil record regarding its color, but we can refer to its distant relatives in the modern day, and there are plenty of ideas in reference materials both printed and electronic. Think about the environment it lived in, too! Tamiya Color paint products are recommended.
