Jur Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I recently discovered the wonderful animated film 'Porco Rosso' by the Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki. I loved the film and so I ordered the 1/72 Fine Molds kit of the (partly fictional) Savoia S.21 in the re-built version. It comes with various extra bits and I opted to place her on the flying stand with both Marco and Fio on board. This is a small but very good kit that has all you need and fits together wonderfully. It only took me a few days to build and I'm happy with it. So happy that I've now also ordered the Curtiss float plane flown by Marco's adversary Donald Curtiss Build thread here: 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey-1980 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Absolutely fantastic! Really love your build @Jur And equally love that you enjoyed the movie too. Still a ways to go with my build at the moment. between working and other life admin, finding the time to finish it is difficult. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jur Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Thank you Mikey! If it wasn't for you I would never have found this kit. I'm also binging on other Hayao Miyazaki films right now, they are excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey-1980 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 awesome! Netflix has I think 17 of the 23 movies from Studio Ghibli. Word of caution, Grave of the Fireflies (which I dont think is in there, WILL make you cry. It's about a brother and sister trying to survive after the Hiroshima bombing.

Billy54 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Very nice, I like what you did with the kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jur Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Thanks everyone for your kind comments. This is a fun kit that is not hard to build and I can heartily recommend it if you are looking for something a little bit different. Even if you are not going to build it you really might want to check out the film Porco Rosso (streaming on a service near you) which is one of Hayao Miyazaki's master pieces (in my opinion). Superbly drawn, a great story and lots and lots of cool aircraft and flying scenes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Excellent build! I've not seen the film but have sometimes thought about acquiring the kit. It's certainly a little different to what most of us build. Very well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
