I hope you agree that mine looks like the real deal. I've seen a fair few LEGO tiltrotor aircraft, but few people seem to have modelled the actual Osprey. MV-22B Osprey (4) by Mad physicist, on Flickr The osprey / spri, - pre / 2 ( Pandion haliaetus ), also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. This was the second big challenge, but also fun. For compact stowage the aircraft has a complicated wing folding arrangement. The Osprey was designed to operate from the decks of ships.

MV-22B Osprey (9) by Mad physicist, on FlickrĪnd here it is in aircraft mode with the rotors pointing forward. I chose to build the wings using stepped plates and half-stud offsets instead. Normally I'd build something like that by playing around with wegde plates and hinges, but because the engines are mounted at the tips of the wings, on the Osprey that wasn't possible. It has dihedral (it points up at the wingtips) and is swept slightly forward. I've been thinking about building it for years, but there were a few difficult bits that I could never quite figure out how to do until now. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's the world's first opertional tiltrotor aircraft, a vehicle that can hover like a helicopter for take-offs and landings with its rotors pointing up and, in flight, point them forward and fly like an aircraft. In addition to Norway, offers of support were provided by Italian, The Netherlands, and United Kingdom military forces.In the last two weeks I've been building a new military model: a US Marine Corps Bell-Boeing MV-22B Osprey. Specifically, the Royal Norwegian Air Force, Hoved Rednig Ssentralen – a civil emergency rescue and response organization, Royal Norwegian Navy, Norwegian Joint Headquarters, Norway’s 330 Squadron, and various civil authorities. In a 2 nd Marine Expeditionary Force Release, the Marines said numerous NATO Allies and partner nations offered an outpouring of operational support during and following the incident. His decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. Tomkiewicz joined the Marine Corps on July 18, 2015. He was without a doubt the world’s biggest Purdue and Colts fan and would want us to say – Boiler Up and Go Colts!” We send our deepest condolences to all the families involved in this awful tragedy. The void we hold in our hearts will be glued back together with the shared memories of friends and family as we begin to accept our new reality. He was a husband, son, a brother, a dog-dad but also the best friend to so many. He was humble, dedicated and proud to serve his country. Matthew Tomkiewicz, wife Lauren, and dog Kevin Bacon.
