Papo Megalodon converted into a great white shark

took advantage of a Papo Megalodon to convert it into a large female great white. not much is needed to be done because the figure itself is really basic and resembles a great white already but I've painted the eyes black and cut the anal and second dorsal fin. My cutting is pretty awful but since large sharks, especially females that have mated are quite scarred, I am obliged to be more forgiving with it. Overall all I feel this is amongst the best great white shark figure after conversion with competition from 3 schleich's and the recent safari but this Papo has the best size and an improvement over their white shark sans the 2 enlarged fins. I don't understand why Papo has to enlarge the fins to the point it looks unnatural and make poor collectors have to do the dirty work.

Making it a great white probably makes it a better megalodon too! That large second dorsal fin makes no sense hydrodynamically.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
