To me, these are both strengths of Kamiya’s model. Quite a lot of Pegasus models tend to sacrifice one of these two areas – either the finished model feels very short, or the wing doesn’t look like an actual functioning wing. The proportions work well and the wing design is excellent. This one, by Satoshi Kamiya is particularly good. There are quite a lot of origami Pegasus designs (Pegasuses? Pegasi?) around for much the same reason. I’ve remarked before on this blog that things with wings and horns tend look very good in origami, and this is probably why birds, dragons, and insects are such popular subjects. Pegasus’s dad was Poseidon, the god of the sea, and his mom was Medusa, an evil Gorgon who had fangs and lizard skin and living snakes for hair.
