lmagna Posted October 12, 2022 Share #62 Posted October 12, 2022 Very nice work Alan. Some how even when sitting on it's landing gear it has a raptor-in-flight look making it look like it is already speeding through the air. Nothing at all like the utilitarian look of the V-22 Even though it is the one with the raptor name.

king derelict Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share #65 Posted October 13, 2022 22 hours ago, Egilman said: You could also acquire a Glencoe #05201 which is the McDonnell XV-1 convertiplane... In a yummy 1/32nd scale, price looks quite reasonable as well... We could do a dual build on her.... {chuckle} she would be perfect for the Rub-n-Buff treatment.... This one is mine... they are not hard to find and are still reasonably priced... Or perhaps a Bell XV-3 Convertiplane.... can't get anymore STOL that these... I just acquired one myself, there are several still available but they are becoming hard to find so the prices are going up.... It's only 1/43rd scale so it won't fit my collection unless I upscale her... I've got lots of projects as well, just not enough time for them all... {chuckle} EG Thanks EG, there are some interesting subjects there, I was wondering if the Fairey Rotodyne would fit in there somewhere too. I dimly remember Airfix having a kit (in the sixties?) Alan Egilman, Edwardkenway, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to mess with To get a sense of what the Harrier can do (Hollywood style), you need to watch (or re-watch) the movie True Lies with Arnold S. The end sequence is a blast to watch.
