Very nice work with this one, always nice to see other aircraft out of the norm.👍

Thank you all gents. 👍
I actually built this back in 1994/95 and posted it for here now for posterity really, as my computer is on the blink and I have lost a lot of images after I was hacked, so I thought it was a lot better off stored where others may like to see some of what I have.
It took a lot of effort to get all the decals made, having to use an inkjet printer with the correct type of font for the "Bell Boeing" as well as the stripes. It still sits in my display case as one of my 'better' builds, as I do have a clean out from time to time of the ones that just missed the mark.
I am pleased you all like it. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Bernhard, I am most grateful for your appreciation mate. 🙂
When I first saw the images in a magazine, "I just had to do it". !
Being a brand new VTOL on the world stage, and the colour scheme, it was just too good an opportunity to pass up.👍
Cheers. 🙂

Album info
This was made possible with some colour photos sent to me from bell helicopters TEXTRON, just before it was put into final production. This was the first ever model of the V-22 produced by anybody, released in 1994, but only sporting the Marines decals and the drab grey colour scheme. I am always looking to present my models as differently as I can from all other modellers. There was only one other guy to do the V-22 like mine and it was at Telford in 2014.
