USMC MV22B Osprey
« on: April 16, 2020, 02:07:36 PM »
Here is the Revell kit almost complete. It went together very nicely. As I got to the current stage I realised there were errors (excluding the ones in the instruction sheets). It has taken me three attempts at the canopy masking. I realised the canopy was from the prototype Osprey. Maybe Revell used the same moulds as the original Italeri kit. Ho hum...
Other small errors include the glazing in the nose as well as the rwr detectors on the nose and rear of the aircraft missing. The aerials on the roof have been corrected. Just getting around to the fuselage strakes behind the cockpit now...

It wouldn't be modelling if there wasn't a challenge somewhere.

Just think what I had to do to that Fred Flintstone bomber that Neil gave me.

Two Ospreys were playing around Driffield and Cranswick Tuesday evening.

Revell seem to release kits with 'in operation' markings only for us to discover they're based on prototypes. I completed their 2007 release of the single seat Eurofighter and the panel lines didn't match the instructions which made decalling fun. If @8 hours is fun!! They also miss out items such as sensors etc. which aren't on the prototype but are on production a/c. The plus side is it turns from kit builders into modellers.

Does that mean I'm getting to be a modeller then?
No comments Martin!

What scheme are you going to finish it in Chris?

PS: I WAS going to ask the same question about Martin's Zombie Shark, but I see it's in 'decomposed reds and blues'!

It will be as per the Revell kit. USMC vmm-264 with the corrections I outlined earlier. Almost there: be ready for primer this weekend.

Just checked the Hasegawa kit I have in the stash and that looks pretty good. All the deficiencies of the Revell kit do not appear to exist in the Hasegawa kit. I'll look forward to doi g that one.

Hi Chris,
Another Osprey?
We are really getting spoilt by you, two of these beasts in short succession.
Love it, look forward to the Hasegawa version

I hope my next is always better

Hi Kevin,
the next Osprey will not be soon. There are one or two other helos I want to do first or may be even a Harrier.
