So got this in Japan in 2013 and thought I never got to show you guys, the frame was the most expensive but turned out really nice I think.

Its the name for Porco's "Fictional" Sea Plane,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_military_aircraft

Savoia S.21 The Savoia S.21 is a fictional seaplane fighter that appears in the anime film Porco Rosso, directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

While the plane depicted in the film never existed, Savoia was an actual Italian aircraft maker which produced a considerable number of flying boats in the 1920s, during which the film is set. An actual Savoia S.21 even existed, though the fictional one does not closely resemble it—the Cant.Z 501 "Seagull" is probably the closest real-life match. As a matter of fact, Hayao Miyazaki is said to have drawn his Savoia S.21 from his childhood memories of Macchi M.33.

The S.21 was a custom-built fighter seaplane with a single parasol wing, above which was mounted a single engine nacelle. It had a flying-boat hull and outrigger floats, and carried two machine guns in the nose. In the film, there are two versions of the S.21. The initial version was powered by an Isotta-Fraschini Asso liquid-cooled V-12 engine; the later version mounted a Fiat A.S.2 "Folgore" V-12 with a modified radiator configuration. In addition to the engine, the new version had a tiny forward cockpit.

In The Age of the Flying Boat, the book on which the film is based, the modified version takes a Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine. The aircraft was painted bright red with Italian tricolor stripes on the wings and tail.

Length: 7.92 m
Wingspan: 10 m
Powerplant: 430 hp (320 kW)

Er, I was actually asking about the actual item inside the frame, but okay.

I was struggling last year for ideas on what to buy my friend for Christmas, I thought of buying her an original Studio Ghibli print or something. Does anybody know if these are obtainable, and at what prices ?

All I can say abt that is to check out eBay under Studio Ghibli and look for original prints, etc...

No idea what original prints are but you can get cells and film reel pieces. They're not cheap though. Otherwise, jigsaw puzzles work too.

But this post is probably too late though, huh?
