I got my 1/72 scale Porco Rosso S.21 at the Studio Ghibli Museum in Tokyo. I liked the movie. And the museum. Passed on the Curtiss. These are both plastic models. I don't think there are any in diecast.

Never mind I found the answers, its 1/72, plastic, has to be built and is too expensive.

I love the anime too. Is the kit prepainted ? From the pics of Ken Airmodel its prepainted.I simply love the bright red colour of the plane.

That model does look pretty neat, and I like the way it is packaged.

Yes, there are two versions. The plane before Curtis shot him down and the reconstructed version. The big difference is the radiator, the first has it on the sides of the engine and the latter has it under the engine. Plus the latter has a second cockpit for Flo.

I agree with you CC. You can't beat the Japanese in packaging.
