doupnik Posted June 5, 2024 Share Posted June 5, 2024 (edited) Hello, CAVU Publications fourth book will be on the V-22 Osprey. The MV, CV and CMV will be covered. I am planning on having the books printed by Nationals. My books on the CH-53E, AH-1W/Z and HH-60G are available here. mason Edited July 25, 2024 by doupnik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted July 25, 2024 Share Posted July 25, 2024 Now that Nats has passed, any updates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted July 25, 2024 Author Share Posted July 25, 2024 My book on the V-22 is available on my website now. It is 128 pages plus cover with over 550 photographs. The Marine MV-22B, Air Force CV-22B and Navy CMV-22B are covered. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted July 26, 2024 Share Posted July 26, 2024 Must of missed it when I checked the site before. 😎 Any plans for a decal sheet for the Osprey? So far your sheets have been only 1/48, any thoughts about going smaller to 1/72, if planning on doing a sheet? Hasegawa has made a few releases in 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I will do a sheet on the V-22 at this time. I am working on a sheet for the HH-60G but it is taking a while. I know Hasegawa did quite a few V-22 kits in 72nd, that might be an interesting option, especially since HobbyBoss hasn't announced CV-22 or CMV-22 kits in 1/48th. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody currently has any CMV decals out. https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Navy/Bell-Boeing-CMV-22B-Osprey/6937373 There is always more aircraft not covered especially in 1/72. https://in.pinterest.com/pin/pinterest--291959988353038314/ https://theaviationist.com/2018/11/02/check-out-this-awesome-sinister-looking-mv-22-osprey-in-special-color-scheme-at-mcas-miramar-on-halloween/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/805581452068178131/ https://www.navy.mil/DesktopModules/ArticleCS/Print.aspx?PortalId=1&ModuleId=523&Article=2762382 https://in.pinterest.com/pin/pinterest--598626975449729221/ I can loan you my 1/72 MV kit if you change your mind. Thanks for shipping the book so fast. 👍👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted July 26, 2024 Author Share Posted July 26, 2024 I got a walkaround of a Rudy CMV-22. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted July 26, 2024 Share Posted July 26, 2024 Swabbies paint up a nice tail. 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted July 29, 2024 Share Posted July 29, 2024 My book arrived today. Wow, another smashing book Mason. The DWS (belly gun) photos are worth the price alone imho. The action shots of the hellhole and repelling/fast roping are great. The tail art is great and I get it would be expensive for some like the Grand Canyon scene but wow if you can pull it off. Really want to do a CMV-22 now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are some really cool tails out there, they would make a cool sheet! On 7/29/2024 at 6:33 PM, strikeeagle801 said: Damn you Mason! More money coming your way! Aaron Thank you Aaron!!

Rotorman Posted August 2, 2024 Share Posted August 2, 2024 Well now all we need with this book is a scale up kit to 1/35. Yeah yeah I know I'm dreaming Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah yeah I know I'm dreaming Yeah, with the DWS not being fielded anymore it is tough to see someone do it. Granted this modern but look at the Huey’s long path. Maybe Trumpeter will scale up the Hobbyboss kit for you. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
