Motorized V-22 *pix*

Hi everyone,

Here is my Italeri V-22 Ospray in 1/48 scale that I finished some years ago.  Here are the pix:

 

Rotor "activator" is the refueling probe itself, at the time I didn't want anything sticking out that didn't belong in the aircraft.  Now looking back it would have been easier with a simple switch.

A test run of the props, looking good:

The pilots were not included in the kit, I got them from a spare Hind Mi-24.

Thanks for looking!

Borislav

Nicely done.  Do the rotors spin in sync?  I'd like to try that sometime with one of my -22s.

Glad you like it. One rotor spins slightly slower than the other I think there is more friction in one engine.  The blades are heavy and it takes time to pick up RPMs, so I went for AAA batteries.

I really like the job you did, very nice paint/wash.  The rotors must be balanced pretty nice if you don't have vibration issues, they look like they spin pretty fast!  Again, very impressive job.
