The Aeroguide Special V-22 Osprey Bell-Boeing Tilt-Rotor(1990) reference book has photos of BuNo 3911 through BuNo 3914 in the White/ Day-Glo Orange, Initial Roll-out, and US Marines camouflage paint schemes. To include photos of the early ejection seats. There are photos and 3-view drawings of 3914 camouflaged paint scheme.

I have kit 2622 with clear parts and small chin windows. I'm building kit 503 which has the yellow tinted canopy and large chin windows. I may just have to get the fuselage and chin windows cast from clear epoxy.

Now that Hobbico is Bankrupt. Who is the contact in the U.S. for replacement parts for the 1/48 Italeri/Testors V-22 Osprey kit# 503? I need a clear set to build a white #1 with the American flag on the tail.

Has any else thought about building Testors kit #503 MV-22 prototype as a USMCR Osprey as delivered to HMM-774 "Wild Geese" circa 1980's in either white or black markings against a Marines Green fuselage? Since Hobbico went Bankrupt. I need a clear canopy and fuselage transparency. Is a replacement still available from Italeri?

Since Hobbico went Bankrupt. Where can one get replacement Canopy and fuselage glass for an original release Testors/Italeri MV-22 Prototype? It doesn't have to be a yellow tinted one. A clear set from a newer kit would suffice. I want to make a what-if VMM-774 (MQ) in '80's Marine Green with white markings.

I have a MIG-31 and it has raised panel lines. Needs resin ejection seats. Not up to today's standards, but for the price, it's buildable.

Doesn't Revell/ Monogram's PBY-5 have markings for the Atlantic scheme or am I confusing it with the Airfix kit?

I have a Sword 1/72 Northrop N-9MA flying wing kit #72001. It's missing the treaded tires. Does anyone know what I can use as replacements?

"Next, we'll be trading a box of Twinkies for Plastic model kits!"

The original "Dragonfly" copter resembles the AH-1J SeaCobra with a AH-1G TAT turret in place of the AH-1W Cannon. The tail would have V-style twin rudders with a Vectored thrust unit instead of a NOTAR. It does seem to use the Whiskey's missiles.

Can I make a 80's G.I Joe XH-1 Dragonfly out of a 1/48 Fujimi AH-1J SeaCobra?

The MD-500 CHP #1643 has the clear canopy glass. CMK has photo-etch and a conversion for MH-6F/J #4276. SAM#31 October 2009 has photos and 1/48 drawings of the IAF MD-500 Defender.

So swapping the canopy glazing from the CHP kit would be the correct one?

Not sure if this ? has been asked before. Why is the canopy and door glass on the Academy MH-6 Orange? Shouldn't it be smoked gray?

El yay! El yay! Finally, decals for the AV-8A/C Harriers!

Mr. Osborn, Do you still have any of the FMR-003 HH-35C conversion sets left, including the -004 rotor set? I'd like to get one each if still available. Dane

Question everyone. Is this the Minicraft/Academy mold or new tooling?

Sometimes people are just stupid! Its a reincarnation of Adolph.

If you get Monograms AD-6, it has the wingfold parts. It has been rereleased this year. Saw it in Squadron mail order monthly for $ 24.29.

WarEagles Air Museum in Santa Teresa,NM has a P-51 in BMF. It wings were recovered in a more modern aluminum.Fuselage is still in original aluminum. This airframe is not polished. Dane
