Nev Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Good aren't they? And just to reiterate - they weren't done by me, but by Maverick on the What If? forums. And its one of those could-have-beens, in 1991 the JMSDF were reported to be interested in 4-8 UV-22s for long-range SAR, and an undisclosed number of SV-22s for ASW.

Vesper Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Any chance we could see some Sh-60s sport the AFSOC & USMC camo, but still be in USN mkgs? Ves :huh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LemonJello Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 More Ospreys...US Forestry Service UV-22C _Observation _Aerial tanker _Insertion, resupply and extraction of smoke jumpers Canadian Forces CV-122A Trigger, are you trying to put me in the poor house with all these sweet V-22 profiles? I have 2 in the stash right now, one is going to be a USCG white/orange bird, but I've got that yellow Canadian SAR profile you did up stuck in my head, and now that yellow/green UFS idea is just too eye catching to ignore. I wonder if I'll ever actually build a vanilla USMC battle bus? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GINge! Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Here's a few I did up last year, they are on ARC somewhere...I am loving that JGSDF Gunship Osprey above!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Trigger, are you trying to put me in the poor house with all these sweet V-22 profiles? Yes. We're all working together for that very purpose. I have 2 in the stash right now, one is going to be a USCG white/orange bird, but I've got that yellow Canadian SAR profile you did up stuck in my head, and now that yellow/green UFS idea is just too eye catching to ignore. I wonder if I'll ever actually build a vanilla USMC battle bus? Don't blame me for that really cool yellow Canadian SAR one. Blame GINge! It's not our fault the Osprey actually looks good in colorful schemes. Edited June 29, 2008 by Trigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Nice stuff, GINge! ;) Really like the Kiwi, Marinen and USMC Ospreys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hey! What about a Sky Soldiers UH-60 in 1/48 or 1/35 scale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damian Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I want to do two kits with the SAAF A-109 LUH scheme: They'll be: 1/48 Academy AH-64D (in stash) 1/48 Italeri AH-1W (when I can get one) There'll be more choppers in other SAAF colours when I can get around to them: UH-1B gunship to be done in the Oryx dark earth/green scheme UH-1D slick to be done in the Oryx dark earth/green scheme MD-500 to be rebuilt as an A/OH-6 in a dark grey/black for spec ops use I'd also like to do some UH-60 variants for the SAAF, SAN and a fictional South African Coast Guard (SACG) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LemonJello Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yes. We're all working together for that very purpose. Well, that's just plain mean, then. Good thing I try to pick up all my 1/48 V-22s at Hobby Lobby when they have the big discounts... Don't blame me for that really cool yellow Canadian SAR one. Blame GINge! It's not our fault the Osprey actually looks good in colorful schemes. True, I should shake my internet fist at GINge (and credit where it's due) for that yellow SAR scheme. The more I look at it, the more I think I have to make one for the collection. It does look good in the brighter schemes, doesn't it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well, that's just plain mean, then. Dude! You shot my house with a space-based laser! I think I'm being remarkably patient here. It does look good in the brighter schemes, doesn't it? Yup yup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Those USAF Apaches is very nice! When I was in, I often mentioned to colleges that we could have used Apaches or Comanches for ABGD as they would be perfect for those roles. And like that Japanese Osprey design.

TaiidanTomcat Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Trigger, any chance of an Mi-26 Halo, with MH-47/Pave low Spec ops gear? regular camouflage or black? Edited August 13, 2008 by TaiidanTomcat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 So, we had an ASW V-22 - where the name Osprey is really fitting - but did we have an AEW&C variant yet? Don't know whether the big radome of the Hawkeye would fit, but what about, say, the SAAB Erieye system? :huh: Royal Navy markings! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 What about a USCG AH-1S Cobra (SAINT) helo? Surface and Air INTerdiction platform.A load of Hellfires on each wing store for ground and Marine targets and a pair of Air to air missles on the edge of the wings for Air targets? Talk about Homeland and Maritime Security!!!! :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youngtiger1 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Wow, I just found this today and I can't believe what I'm seeing......I'm loving the bright colors on the Ospery. Tigger great idea.... Now, how about some with Topgun colors? Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I have the Italeri EH-101 HAS Merlin in 1/72 sitting on my workbench. So far I´m only sure that I won´t finish it in the OOB markings in a boring single-tone grey... I´m thinking about two options: 1. Doing a RN Merlin, but giving it a neat two tone grey camoflage, similar to the Tiger Meet-version from Revell, or even do a three tone camo in different greys. 2. Doing a german navy Merlin (we need to get a new helo for our Seakings and the MH-90 looks like it needs another 10 years until he enters service... :) ), similar camoflage like the Seaking, so it would have two greys and a dark green... Any thoughts or ideas? HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I´m born in Lübeck and now I live in Kiel...HAJO Well - the numberplate of my car starts with KI... :) That means we can both see the birds from the MFG 5 from our living rooms from time to time. I´m really looking forward to see your Merlin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yeah, will be able to work on it in about one and a half week, the model is in Lübeck, while I´m in Kiel, working on some different stuff. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Samurai_Chris Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Can anyone help me with a photo-shop? I am wanting to do a Queensland Police Service Apache Longbow D in white... What I need is that on the tail in navy blue that "Queensland Police Service" be written, and that there should be a verticle set of navy blue checks down some part of the fueselage, bordered by a fluro orange stripe on each side.. Infact the rotar dome should be Fluro Orange as well.. No gun... But everything goes... I am thinking a recon chopper with rescue capability.. This is the only pic I can find.. In the front is a red vehicle.. But I am looking to do the chopper in the white scheme with checker and fluro orange (Marlboro) stripes next to it.. Sorry I cant give a better pic...
