This is a nice kit, put one together a while back. Did this one come with two Porco's, one big and one for the cockpit?

Great job on Marco!
@Paul: you are welcome! It's the iconic phrase from the Italian version of the picture 🙂

Thanks everyone for cheering along. I actually cracked the box on this kit last May (2022) but I was procrastinating over how to motorise it since the 1:72 kit doesn't leave much room to manoeuvre. I finally picked it up again this week and it has come together like a dream. I think I'm on the home stretch now..

Cheers Robert! It was enjoyable to revisit of one of my favourite films after so many years thanks to this hobby.

Great result! The pic from above is like it's actually from the film.
