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..
