MV-22 Osprey

Peppy
Great start

Clifford Keesler
Welcome aboard Roland. Thank you very much Peppy. I got all of the grey painted on the interior parts today. Will try and get the cockpit painted tomorrow.

Maciej Bellos
In!

James C
Watching 😉👍

Clifford Keesler
Welcome Maciej and James. Did not get much done today, 2 tornado warnings and 3 granddaughters, one 12 the other 10 and a 3 year old. So modeling kind of went out the window. I did get the rotor blades done and puttied.

Mathieu
One osprey just got finished that another one is in gestation. Good the vertical fun keeps going on. Taking a seat.

David Taylor
Watched Rolands now yours.

Clifford Keesler
Welcome Mathieu and David.

Murad ÖZER
Here 🙂

Augie
watching too

Clifford Keesler
Welcome Murad and Augie. I hope I can make it worth all of your intrest.

Clifford Keesler
Quick update, as I have not been able to get much done the past few days. Fuselage is all puttied and putty removed and panel lines restored. I need to finish putting the rivets back in, then I will start on getting the flaps finished and installed.

Nathan Dempsey
Wow Clifford! Nearly ready to paint already!

Clifford Keesler
It's getting there. I accidentally stuck my finger through a cabin window today. So I need to figure out how to get it back in, or make one with micro crystal clear. Hope to finish the flaps tomorrow.

Augie
small bit of double sided tape and a kabab stick 🙂
Looking good.

Clifford Keesler
Thank you Augie. I will give the kabab stick a try. Don't know why I did not think of that. I only have like 100 stuck in a rack on my work bench. LOL. Well except for the window, I have a complete air frame ready for paint.

Augie
No worries 🙂 good luck

Clifford Keesler
Got the window in, thanks Augie. Hope to start paint tomorrow. The flaps are finished and installed.

Clifford Keesler
It is all primed, paint starts tomorrow. Will get some new pictures up soon.

Clifford Keesler
I got the marble coat painted.

Nathan Dempsey
Looking good Clifford ?

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Nathan, for your kind words.

Mathieu
Wow that was fast ! Great job Clifford !

David Taylor
Cracking on with it Clifford.

James C
Looks to be coming along nicely 👍

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Mathieu, David, Roland and James. I got it painted today. Just a few small touch-ups then I will do the clear coat, and start the decals.

Dominik Weitzer
nice work.

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Dominik.

Sergej I
Huuuge. I don't even have a cutting mat this big 😄

Clifford Keesler
It is a bit of a lump, I haven't given much thought as to where I will put it. I will see if I can squeeze it in with my 1/35 Heilo's. LOL.

James C
I love seeing how the addition of the decals really brings the subject to life 👍

Nathan Dempsey
Ooh I like the choice of markings.

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much James, Roland and Nathan for your kind and encouraging words. I got the decals on the other side today. Just to need to finish the decals on the rotors, then it's on to weathering.

Guillaume Blanchet
Looking great! Nice tail art.

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Guillaume.

Clifford Keesler
Finished the decals today. Will finish the landing gear tomorrow, and take some more pictures.

Clifford Keesler
Only got the landing gear done today, My granddaughter's could not behave themselves so grandpa had to "babysit."

Mathieu
Looking good Clifford. Love the chosen scheme.

Gerald
👍

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Mathieu, and Gerald. Final gloss coat applied, next weathering.

Clifford Keesler
Got the wash on and off today, pin wash done, waiting for it to dry and remove. Then final assembaly.
