The wings attach to the hatch over the fuel tank. Sankei MP07-21 Studio Ghibli Mini Red Pig, Adriano and Aircraft Non-Scale Papercraft. The gun bay and engine nacelle have removable hatches. 1/48 Savoia S.21 from Porco Rosso Airplane first edition. Take that as you will, coming as it does from someone who normally builds relics from late last century! The upper fuselage is molded as one piece, being removable if you so desire to see the cockpit, fuel tank and gun bay detail. This has to be the best model I've ever built, having had absolutely no assembly problems other than those I induced myself.
PORCO ROSSO PLANE PAPERCRAFT MOVIE
Cockpit interior was painted using screen shots from the movie as reference, but adding a few touches of my own, compliments of the airplane mechanic in me. The engine nacelle and panel lines were given a dark wash to simulate grime and break up the red a bit. The wings and fuselage were primed in white to make the red pop a little better, while the floats and engine nacelle were left in the original red plastic to give a little contrast. The green is from the little Testors bottles. The wing and rudder stripes were painted instead of using the decals. In the movie, the airplane is shot down and rebuilt, receiving a larger, more powerful "Ghibli" engine and having one machine gun replaced by an extra seat in the nose.Ĭolors are Model Master Italian Red upper surfaces, with the lower hull and floats painted in MM RLM-79 Sandgelb, which matches the original plastic color pretty well. Armament is a pair of 7.9mm Spandau machine guns in the nose compartment. The fictional airplane is powered by an Isotta Fraschini Asso supercharged V-12 of approximately 850 hp. The real S-21 was a biplane which bears no resemblance whatsoever to the model. The antagonist in the film is named Curtiss and flies a modified R3C racer, which is also available as a kit from Fine Molds. The airplane is based on the real life Macchi M-33, which lost the Schneider Cup to Jimmy Doolittle's Curtiss R3C. It's family suitable as well, so it can be enjoyed with the kids and wife, assuming you can talk them into it! It is a wonderful film, well worth watching. He lives under a curse, having been turned into a pig after abandoning his squadron mates during a WWI dogfight. The Savoia S-21 is a fictional seaplane featured in the Japanese anime film " Porco Rosso" (The Crimson Pig), about an Italian fighter pilot who makes a living fighting air pirates in the late 1920's. I don't remember who posted the article, but I would like to thank him for introducing me to this lovely little airplane. Without it, I would never have known about this machine, as it sure isn't the usual kit on my radar. The inspiration came from an article here on iModeler posted sometime last year.
PORCO ROSSO PLANE PAPERCRAFT SERIES
They appear to show no signs of human expression, but are incapable of moving after their fragile paper bodies are torn or crushed. In the film, the Shikigami are portrayed as being emotionless creatures acting under the will of whoever commands them (Zeniba, in the film's only case). When magically commanded, they can stand (or hover) on the tip of their tails and plaster themselves onto a person's body. They are white in color and resemble birds and have a circular head, wings, and a pointed "tail".
However, in the film's adaptation, the Shikigami are portrayed as fully-visible, semi-humanoid paper creatures with the ability to fly at extremely high speeds (on par with Haku in his dragon form). Shikigami, in traditional Japanese folklore, are either invisible or appear in the shape of neatly-folded paper manikins.
