[Mr_Spock]

Has anyone made a Savoia S 21 flying boat fighter for 2004?  :)

Hey, thats that japanese animation I've seen. about the flying pig. Made by the famous japanese artist (I've forgotten his name). Edit looks very real, really brought to life.

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


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."

Thats the film, thanks for reminding me Mr_Spock. Miyazaki, a great animator.

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.

There is one, by Kazunori Ito. Found a picture of it:



Don't know where you can download it though  ???.

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.
