This is a 1/72 scale plastic kit that depicts the MV-22B Osprey assigned to VMM-362 Ugly Angels in 2025.

The MV-22 Osprey blends vertical-lift helicopter capability with fixed-wing cruise performance, developed by Bell Boeing to meet U.S. military transport requirements.

Kit presentation and build notes - Produced in 1/72 scale, the kit uses conventional injection-molded components. Expect separate sprues for fuselage elements, nacelles, rotors, and landing gear. Panel lines and surface detail are provided to support scale painting and weathering techniques. Assembly requires common modeling supplies such as glue, knives, and paints; the parts count and decal inclusions are not specified in the supplied information. The kit is best suited to builders focused on display accuracy and traditional assembly.

Fit and finishing - Attention to small details like rotor blade alignment and nacelle spacing is important at this scale. Prepare seams carefully and align tiltrotor shafts precisely before final gluing. Photographic sources can aid in reproducing the VMM-362 color scheme; optional aftermarket masks and detail sets are available from third parties for further refinement.

A straightforward 1/72 MV-22B kit that appeals to hobbyists who prefer methodical builds and accurate squadron models.
