Tamiya 25163 1/48 V-22 Osprey Collector Edition Kit  [25163]

Overview of the Tamiya 25163 V-22 Osprey Model

The Tamiya 25163 1/48 V-22 Osprey presents a finely detailed miniature of the tilt-rotor aircraft, complete with Japan deployment markings. The model captures the hybrid flight capability that distinguishes the Osprey, making it an interesting subject for display or study.

Service Use and Practical Reach

The V-22 has been adopted for long-range transport and rapid deployment roles, replacing older tilt-rotor and helicopter types in several mission sets. This kit reflects those operational characteristics through scale-accurate surfaces and decal choices.

Tips for Assembly and Finishing

Builders should plan for precise alignment when attaching the wing and engine nacelles to preserve the tilt-rotor geometry. Pre-shading panel lines and careful masking around markings will improve the finished appearance.
