fox mannikins

I have a question on fox kit mannikins. Is there a noticeable difference between a red fox kit mannikin to a grey fox kit mannikin? There are only a few on the market, and I prefer not to mount them all the same. I have no problems altering mannikins, I just rather keep the job as simple as I can without getting into carving my own or major alterations. Any advice is appreciated!

Sandy, A good bit of difference between red and grey fox. Reds have a much longer nose and leg length is different as well. It's all doable but when it's a small fox and you have the carcass a carving job is not too bad. For sure altering is much easier with the natural body as a guide. Enjoy, Aaron H.
