Watched this movie again this morning.
The nine winged flying boat would be my kit of choice

Ooohhh... pick me! Pick me! I kitbashed up Jiro's dream plane... but I've yet to work up the nerve for the Ka-14. I don't have this one, but the 1/72 scale version, but I'll still be watching closely! Looks fantastic!

Speckless build and photography. Is the choice of silver paint based on any reference or is it just your choice?

Thanks !
@LucLuke B: the « real » color in the movie is quite not obvious for me. From a grey/light green finish (also recommanded by Fine Molds assembly guide), or shiny metallic finish in some scenes... I have chosen the metallic option, mainly by personal taste !😉

Apparently the models were (Savoia, Curtis etc.) were designed with the assistance of Studio Ghibli so it it can be supposed the colours are as they had seen them but that's not certain. And it is true it is difficult to interpret the colours from the animation, same as from a black and white picture. Anyhow your interpretation looks really good 🙂
