modelersc Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hi all I've been asked to gather information on current V-22 Osprey colors and markings for a manufacturer. If you can help with solid info like walkarounds, marking details, etc. please PM me. This is a great chance to get that particular scheme you like! I'm not promising a whole new tool kit but the modern lumps-n-bumps found on the current Osprey are possible too. Info on what's needed and some photos would be a big help. Thanks loads Sherman C.

Chief Snake Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 My son flies the MV-22B with VMM-161. The USMC aircraft are painted with FS36320, Dark Ghost gray- FS36375, Light Ghost gray- FS36237, Blue Gray. Color tones are muted and can be difficult to see delineation at even short distances. Lumps and bumps are no-tell, no-pic items at unit level however some are on both USMC and USAF V-22's and are shown on publicly released pictures. Xtra Decals makes a sheet, 48-119 that is quite accurate for common markings. Individual unit markings change with any decision the unit commander may entertain. USAF CV-22's have some different color schemes, some are common to the MV-22B while other are totally different. Chris M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulsbrown Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hopefully 1/48 scale, the Italeri builds up ok into an MV-22 but there's a lot of changes to be made that the kit doesn't have. A decent interior set of bulkheads would be nice too. Here's a link to all the reference photos I used for all the necessary lumps n bumps on this build. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4i0mrsxmnwry8vt/AACPjVY73zsgtfEqFguum35da?dl=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) As far as “lumps and bumps” - there are plenty of open source pics and docs that illustrate what this equipment looks like and what it does. No real issues in obtaining this info. Good luck w your project. Paul Brown - that’s a great build btw. Edited March 8, 2019 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
