Ralph Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Evening all, Out of curiousity, does the standard Hasegawa MV22 Osprey kit include the additional parts for the CV22 Special ops version as part of the standard sprues, or are they on dedicated sprues only available in the extortionately expensive CV22 boxings? Inquiring minds want to know... Kind regards, R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Pete Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 And when comparing it to the CV-22 parts layout, it shows that the MV-22 has a sprue E, while the CV has a sprue J instead. Which has all the tiny bits and bobs that make the difference. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10242474/70/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, R As long they refuse to add that box (with different decals ofc) in their catalogue there is no other way to obtain those pieces other than buying it, sadly it's a reality for many kits from Hasegawa, Fujimi and Aoshima Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmat Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 HASEGAWA ALSO RELEASED THE JASDF version CV-22B Osprey `JASDF` 02121 (CV-22B オスプレイ `航空自衛隊` ) with sprue J From 2014 and probably harder to find than CV-22B OSPREY 'U.S. Air Force' 02074 The JASDF version is also currently available on Amazon. It's about 14 dollars cheaper than the USAF version. 68 vs 84 bucks. I think that Hasegawa released a repop of this kit without fanfare. I got one much later (last year, 2362 yen) from a Yamada Denki electronics department store in Shinjuku after some searching in Tokyo. I think that some shops here in Tokyo still have them. Try Sunny Hobby in Tokyo. Sprue J can be ordered from Hasegawa in Japan for 600 yen. Sorry, all of this may be of limited use for you. Google this CV-22B オスプレイ `アメリカ空軍` (プラモデル) in Japanese as it seems to be a little cheaper on Amazon. Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
