KursadA Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 CD72118 will be a 1/72 sheet for the CV-22B / MV-22B / CMV-22B Osprey; designed for the Hasegawa kit. It will basically be a scaled-down version of my recent 1/48 scale Osprey sheet (CD48164), plus a couple of new options (the new commander's aircraft for VMM-363 "Lucky Red Lions" and the first US Navy CMV-22B from VRC-30).

Dutch Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 That'll be neat! Thanks Kursad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 And if any one of you happens to work at North Island or have any connections there, please let me know if VRC-30 is planning to paint their CMV-22B with any kind of unit markings before the first deployment. I think they have not been able to paint it yet, but I am sure they are planning something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Pretty plain jane right now! But VRC-30 and eventually VRC-40 markings would be very nice! I appears that the forward portion of the main wheel sponsons are enlarged. Extra fuel or storage? Here is a link to a photo from a different angle that better highlights the bulges.

Also reduced the engineering challenges, gear is still accessible, running a slimmer pod all the way along the sponsen would have required some major maintenance changes.. CMV-22's big job will be flying F-35 engines to/from the carrier. Engine and maintenance travel stand fill the cargo area. Ugly pods on the sponsen front allowed extra fuel without too many engineering/flight test issues. I am waiting to see if AFSOC or the Marines follow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Still no decoration on the CMV-22B - even for the landmark event of first US Navy V-22 carrier landing on Nov 22. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Very nice! Which is the best kit, Kursad? Hasegawa, ESCI, Italeri or Hobbycraft? I am guessing Hasegawa. K/r, Dutch Edited January 12, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 This is designed for the Hasegawa kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Great looking sheet, the Red Lion scheme should be scaled up to 1/48. Who is the ! scheme, that is different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
