The tan areas are the preserved portions of the skull (scale bar 10 cm):



Good candidate for a 2025 or 2026 CollectA figure, although I'll bet no other company will ever touch it.

Seems to be mostly complete which is a very pleasant surprise. From the paper:

Holotype
IWCMS 2014.80, an almost complete skeleton composed of the following elements: right maxilla, right nasal fragment, both vomers, both quadrates, both squamosals, both prefrontals, both frontals, both postorbitals, neurocranium, right dentary, left dentary fragments, left surangular, one loose dentary tooth, eight opisthocoelous presacral vertebrae, cervical rib fragment, 15 dorsal vertebrae including the sacrodorsal, dorsal rib fragments, sacrum, 40 caudal vertebrae, 15 chevrons, both scapulae, both coracoids, both sternal bones, right humerus, left radius, left ulna, left carpus, left metacarpals III and IV, right metacarpals II and V, both pollices, left digit II manual phalanx 1, unsided digit II manual phalanx 2, right digit IV manual phalanx 1, both ilia, both pubes, both ischia, left femur, both tibiae, both fibulae, both astragali, right metatarsal II, left metatarsals II, III and IV, digit II: right pedal phalanx 1, left pedal phalanges 1 and 2, digit III: right pedal phalanx 4, left pedal phalanges 1–4, and digit IV: left pedal phalanges 1–4.

I'm surprised a full skeletal wasn't included in the paper because of how much of the material there is. There appears to be plenty of images of the material though.
