Flight 666 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yes ladies and gentlemen its done !! V -22 Osprey, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263 ( VMM 263 ) „ Thunder Chickens ) Al Asad Air Base ; Iraq 2007 / 2008 Building this Kit had been a challenge in a different way of modelling for me. Now once again I need to say that i won´t be able to do it without the fantastic work of Mr. Dave Roof / Flying Lethernecks Decals and the support of Dave Fasset. O.K. and here we go. First I start with what I have changed . The under wing section : The Intake was opened and filled with fan blades out of a Hase F-14 kit The smaller intakes : The exhaust : and the folded rotor blades: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flight 666 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Here I go and show you some details which I took a hand on because not with the kit or had been ugly. The door, not with the kit The back door hydraulic cylinder I took some needles for the metal parts And the inner section was made complete scratch, only it´s hard to take a picture form but here you can see Some antennas And the taxi and landing lights Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SteveV22FE Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Looks good! Not critiquing, just helpful info... I don't remember a screen being inside the upper nacelle elephant ear doors when I worked on them. Is that something new? I'm not sure if its the photography, but your empennage looks like it's drooping down on the aft end. Also, I don't think that tail number had AVR-2A sensors on the side of the fuselage. The Block A and Block B aircraft did away with those sensors. The Block A Mod aircraft had a panel covering where the AVR-2A used to be. AVR-2A was short lived only to be installed on the EMD and LRIP aircraft. We did have them on EMD-RTF aircraft (Acfts 8, 10, 21, 22,23, and 24) I was the lead on the CV-22B ATA re-manufacture. The fuselage came back from Boeing with a panel over the AVR-2A locations since the Air Force doesn't use that sensor. Edited January 19, 2012 by SteveV22FE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Steve, yes you right, this model had an accident just before the finish line and the tail broke away. And when i fixed it was looking good and so I took it away for two day for drying. And after two day.... But it was so solid and I was afraid to ruin the model if cut it again , and so ..... Every Model gets its own catastrophe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Steve, I appreciate your explanation and the time you take to explain me something about this aircraft. From your Nick and your words I can take you had been a crew member , or mechanic at the V-22. This screen are a kind of artistic license , so forgive me that. This sensors you are talking about, I´m not sure to understand you right, but I think, you talking about this 2 on each side in the middle of the Fuselage. If you like, feel free to take my picture and mark it . Thanks again, you are very kind ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
