The top 2 photographs show how the feathers were packed with a small pieces of foam chip between the feathers to insure against breakage. The rest of the photographs show the feathered headdress in different angles.

Conclusion:
One of the best Native American kits I have seen in a long time. Extremely well detailed with minimal clean-up required. Dry-fitting of parts was excellent. Highly recommended.
