Have a look in aircraft Wanted, I posted more pics and a link to the film. Grin

Porco Rosso (the Japanese title Kurenai no Buta literally means "The Crimson Pig") was first planned as a 30-45 minutes in-flight movie on Japan Airlines. It's been described as "a movie which tired businessmen on international flights can enjoy even with their minds dulled due to lack of oxygen." As Miyazaki's imagination took off, it became a feature-length movie about an Italian Air Force pilot who left the service due to the rise of fascism. He became a bounty hunter, assuming the name "Porco Rosso." Grin

Wow, never heard of that movie, and I like Miyazaki... BTW, "Porco Rosso" also means "Red Pig", in Italian. That would definitely be a fun model for FS!

I don't know why but I get the feeling I have seen it for FS before. I think someone did model it but it's a case of finding it. I'll go see if I can dig it up. Grin

Here are what I found, one for an early combat flight sim, but its as flat as paper when you load it into fs2004, but the tower view gives a 3d model. Ill post 3 picks of different types.

The Lego model

the Combat flight sim model I found via Googleing for any and all Porco Rosso Stuff, because I made a Savoia S21 model out of syrafoam that has a 2 and a half foot wing spane to hang from the ceiling

The Model collectors kit

When I can get the Didgital camera to work I'll post some of my hand made models, stuff I make from scratch.
