BerndM Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Again a stunning build, i do know nothing about that film, it could be a Schneider Trophy racing plane. Beautiful modelling ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fea Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Ayup Joe... Wow. A fantastic build of a great seaplane. Love Porco too ! Edited June 3, 2015 by Fea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairystick Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Wow! That is certainly different. A meld of several inputs, to be sure. Lovely internals and timber-work represented in that finish and the red is lovely! Nice work Joe! I'm not too sure of the pilot being physically able to fit in that cockpit though! ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo below was taken during the WIP. Thanks again Hairystick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinback Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hello Pinback, I remember, you bought it as a souvenir from Osaka. Does the 1/72nd version have the internal detail? I'm sure you will make a great job of it. I would like to see your model when it's finished. Thank you, FBD. Hi FBD - Internal detail is confined to the cockpit area only but is more than adequate You also get the trolley and a stand Will pop a couple of pics of it on this topic line when I finish it -hopefully over the next couple of weeks -eek! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Pinback, I will keep an eye out for them. Your right about the detail. Once the fuselage halfs are together, you can see very little. Look forward to your photos, FBD.

HansReggelsen Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Fantastic! Actually one of my favourite movies! Like most of Miyasaki's movies it has a magic that many other movies lack!

Pinback Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi FBD - As promised You get a 1/48th Porco and the beaching trolley Poor Fio has her nose pressed against the windscreen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hello Pinback, that's great. You've made a really good job of your Seaplane. It looks good on the stand. You've got a superb finish on the paint work. I can see Fio sitting up front. Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fea Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It cries out for a 'Curtis' model in pursuit and some sea for it to be flying over... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 It cries out for a 'Curtis' model in pursuit and some sea for it to be flying over... Great idea Fea. I'm waiting for the Curtis Seaplane at the moment. I have it on back order with HLJ. I hope to get it this month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
