MV-22B Osprey (VMM-365) aboard USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7), Italeri 1/48 scale.

July 30, 2024 · in Diorama · · 16 · 176

There are two ospreys in scale the Hobbyboss and the , the hobbyboss is more expensive than italeri, the hobbyboss has a lot of options to build, the italeri is simpler but has a lot of fitting problems a lot of sanding to do, but I chose the italeri because I like challenges. I have lot of modified to the plane and I rebuild the interior and the tiltrotor wings and the rotors are retractable I worked a lot on it but it was worth it. I am totally satisfied with the result, I hope you like it!

  1. Well done! Don't think that I ever would ride in one of these, it just don't look right.

  2. Nice job on this, particularly the work to fold the wing and the rotor blades.

  3. You clearly succeeded to win from those challenges, Norbert @norbivarium
    Very nice work.

  4. Excellent build - nice weathering. Well done.

  5. Outstanding result out of the definitely challenging Italeri kit, Norbert!

  6. Nicely done! I built that kit and made a lot of extras so can feel your sanding pain but I never considered making it fold up like that.
