discussion Ade's V-22 Osprey build

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Well, last year I did my D-Day build that took most of the year to complete with all the vehicles and figures, so this year I'll be working on the V-22 Osprey. I plan to wire up the engines and add some LED's along with a base and ground crew working on her.

I can see a lot of work hiding the wires and having the props spin in a realistic manner but it should be fun

I'll be using two Airfix engines and will need to construct frames to hold them in place. I've made a start of the engines and hope to post a video of them spinning soon as I can

The Osprey looks good fun Adrian. Lots happening and just my cup of tea.

Said before models which are a bit out of the way in looks attract attention and are very interesting to build.
