This is amazing! Just awesome!! Photography as well is super cool with the hangar backdrop. Inspiring!

Did that back in the late 1980's when Canada was looking for a replacement to our aging Labradors. I knew it would never happen (to rich for our blood), but it would have made an excellent replacement: almost twice the range @ twice the speed and a much higher lifting capacity. Background is actually Hangar #1 at CFB Comox (B.C.)where 442 SAR Sqn. resides. You can see one of the old Labradors in the background. I actually motorized it, although I haven't tested it in a while.

Fantastic idea and beautiful model! Congrats, Dave!

Thanks Dave for the details, really cool. I have a CV-22 in the stash and I'm going to have to try really hard not to steal your idea for this, it looks so great in the yellow! Great job

By all means, Ben, go ahead and run with the idea. I'm always happy to see someone else's execution of the same idea. My paint scheme is totally based on the colour scheme being used at the time. I'd love to see another rendition of a CAF Osprey!
