Jasonb13 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hi all, This is one of two builds that I flew through in the last few weeks, trying to get my mojo back after not building anything for a year. So it was quick and dirty, cutting corners and if I hit any issues I didn't put a lot of effort into fixing them. The main point was getting something finished! It was my first Hasegawa kit and I like it, decent fit, though the cockpit canopy was too wide! The decals weren't great either, a little too thick and they do love their carrier film. Still, I like the Osprey, it's a nicely strange looking aircraft, and it stands out on the shelf, not least due to the size of the rotors! As always, all comments welcome! Kit: Hasegawa MV-22B Osprey Scale: 1:72 Paint & Weathering: MRP, Tamiya and Revell paints, Oil Washes. Extras: None 69 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmerboy Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Looks really good to me, very interesting aircraft, seen one in the flesh recently and they are getting uglier by the minute, lots of new lumps and bumps! Good job! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great model, and it looks the part. Yes, the V-22 is God's Curse on Aviation, but it's the future, so... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantherhawk27263 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Amazing build, it looks great!! I saw one of these flying several years back and was amazed at how big those propellers are. They look huge in photos, but seeing them in real life made them seem even larger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Great stuff Jason and you clearly haven't lost any skills in that time. Cracking build, well done. Dermot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-42 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 If you are going to pick a kit for a quick and dirty build, a recent Hasegawa would be the one! I see no sign of corners being cut. Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetasker Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We get the Mildenhall birds through the Lakes regularly and I have to admit the Osprey fascinates me - nice build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Excellent job on the Osprey! I've been going to airshows for some 50 years now and I've seen many dozens of different types of aircraft. I have to admit that the Osprey was about the only one I looked at and thought, 'No way would I fly in that thing!'. Still, I've always liked the unusual look of it, and it makes for an interesting and different-looking model. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Your build looks great and it looks like your mojo is back. The Osprey is definitely the Edward Scissorhands of the aircraft world! Regards, Adrian 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinpin Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Excellent build.. I think the Osprey is a fascinating aircraft. Have seen the Mildenhall aircraft in the air a few times, big, quiet and fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
