1/72 Force of Valor US Marine MV-22 Osprey
The Force of Valor has produced new scaled model that make my wallet decreased in width size. This valuable asset is another utility transport from United States nowdays. V22 Osprey is new American multi-mission, military, tiltrotor aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
The V-22 originated from the United States Department of Defense Joint-service Vertical take-off/landing Experimental (JVX) aircraft program started in 1981. The team of Bell Helicopter and Boeing Helicopters was awarded a development contract in 1983 for the tiltrotor aircraft. The Bell Boeing team jointly produce the aircraft.[4] The V-22 first flew in 1989, and began flight testing and design alterations; the complexity and difficulties of being the first tiltrotor intended for military service in the world led to many years of development.
The United States Marine Corps began crew training for the Osprey in 2000, and fielded it in 2007; it is supplementing and will eventually replace their Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knights. The Osprey's other operator, the U.S. Air Force, fielded their version of the tiltrotor in 2009. Since entering service with the U.S. Marine Corps and Air Force, the Osprey has been deployed in both combat and rescue operations over Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and Libya.
Many Variant of V22 Osprey has been introduced through US Defense Branch such as MV-22 for USMC and CV22 for USAF. Another foreign country that has showed their interests is Israel and Saudi Arabia.
So my V22 Osprey from FOV is USMC MV-22 Osprey that has been operated in Insurgency in Iraq.
