PORCO ROSSO PLANE MODEL HOW TO
PORCO ROSSO PLANE MODEL MOVIE

That historical faithfulness is juxtaposed with a curse that turned Porco into an anthropomorphic pig, and a brush with the afterlife. The main character, a, Italian bounty hunter named Porco Rosso, even quips that heвЂ™d rather be a pig than a fascist, referring to the rise of fascism in Italy at the time. The story, which takes place in the aftermath of World War I, heavily features airplanes rendered in loving detail, and a setting where the time and place are so clear that the unfolding events can clearly be pinpointed in history. The world of Hayao MiyazakiвЂ™s Porco Rosso strikes a delicate balance between reality and fiction. To celebrate the arrival of the Japanese animation houseвЂ™s library on digital and streaming services, weвЂ™re surveying the studioвЂ™s history, impact, and biggest themes. Whilst I think about this I will finish the fuselage and give that a coat of red.May 25-30 is Studio Ghibli Week at Polygon. This is the underside of the wing and the area affected sits right above the floats so in practice it can barely be seen, and if spotted I could explain it away as a shadow or weathering effect.

Give it one or two more spray coats and live with it. Not a problem, as long as I can be sure that it will all work out ok!Д¤.

If I can get it off it will surely damage the mask and probably the green underneath so I will end up basically stripping everything and having to redo the entire thing. It may need some agressive stuff like nail varnish remover.

Problem here is that I don't know how to strip the spray paint, this is a very tough paint in my experience. Try and strip off the paint just outside the mask edge and re-spray. Even more risk of it all getting too thick ДЈ. brush paint a bit of red or even white over the green and re-cover with the spray can. The risk is that it needs lots of coats and the paint comes on too thick Дў. keep blasting away with the rattle can until the red completely covers all of it. You can see it at the tip of the tweezers, and even more so on the left side. I should have used some clear varnish instead. After 2 coats it still shines through very clearly. It now turns out that the Tamiya spray paint has trouble properly covering this green. To try and avoid leakage underneath the masks on the wing underside I brushed some green over the mask edge between the green and the (future) red. I made a start spraying the wings and various other bits red using a Tamiya rattle can TS 8. I should have primed but I didn't, and the (Vallejo) paint struggled a bit to grip, but a few very thin mists gave it something to hold on to (I hope) and it came out OK. Next I sprayed the undersides of the fuselage and floats brown. Then installed the internals and closed the fuselage which went together very well. Yesterday I touched up the white with a brush.

What makes a good move a great movie is if it helps you getting though tough times! I also already assembled the engine and the floats which all came together very easily. I find painting over red always hard so I applied some white Tamiya primer over the parts I want to paint, and masked out the areas on the wings and tail fin where the green for the national flag will come. This screen shot from the film clearly shows the new engine:ДЇInally, there are transfers (Oi, that dates me - I mean decals) for the wing markings and the floats/fuselage undersides (which I won't be using) and a larger scale statue of Fio.ДЇirst things first, some priming and masking.

Actually, the kit comes with two alternative engines, the new Fiat AS.2 one as in the movie (on the left) and another one which isn't the original Isotta Fraschini but something else entirely - I don't know what it is and why it is included (on the right): It has a bigger engine and some other mods. Mine is the S.21 F model, the later version repaired and modified by Fio Piccolo after Porco's original plane got shot down by Donald Curtiss (I told you to go and watch the movie!). The molding is reasonably detailed for the scale with recessed panel lines and some cockpit details. It better be because I have too many on the go already The parts appear to fit very well and there are not too many of them, so hopefully this can be a quick build. In 1/72 scale this is quite a small model but the kit looks good and comes with some nice extras: seated figures of Porco and Fio, a beach trolley and a display stand. I'm not going to explain the background to this plane here, Mikey-1980 told something about it in his thread and for the rest, just go and watch the movie, it is absolutely brilliant! To fit with my other models I ordered the 1/72 version from Japan which arrived a couple of days ago. I watched the movie and inevitably succumbed to the temptation to build one myself. Triggered by Mikey-1980's thread on his excellent 1/48 Porco Rosso Savoia S.21.
