I’m a believer that the V-22 would bring a significant capibility to Special Ops for deep penetration operations where air-to-air refueling is not an option. I don’t see how they would be the best choice for vertrep … just to complicated, expensive and not enough payload (compared to other options) from what I’ve heard. For you guys that know the system better than I, is it true the civil versions have not had any of the serious problems the military version has? Could it be the complexity that’s added as a result of the blade and wing folding systems is the difference if the civil version is doing better?
Just a thought.

Good to hear that they are up and running again. 2 years ago, I fabricated
3 FLIR composite turret covers for the V - 22. The customer sent me a picture
with it installed.

Anybody bought the “re-released” Testors V-22 in 1/48. I think it is supposed to have been “updated”. I have a couple of the first ones released. What are the “extras” in the “updated” kit? I had thought of doing one as a “SAR” bird with mini-guns in the windows, doors, and on the ramp. Shades of “Jolly Greens”!
