Italeri 1463S 1/72 V-22A Osprey Plastic Model Kit

The project of the innovative Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey was set up during the 1980s but only after a long and complex development process, lasting over twenty years, did it begin distribution to the operational departments of the United States armed forces.

The Osprey is a tiltrotor equipped with two tilting engines with large three-blade propellers that make it capable of landing and taking off vertically like a helicopter and having flight and transfer performance similar to that of a conventional propeller plane. Thanks to its two powerful 6,150 HP Rolls-Royce T406-AD-400 engines, it manages to exceed 500 km / h in horizontal flight. The United States Marine Corps is the user who employs the highest number of them by exploiting the tactical and transport versatility of the V-22 in particular for landing support operations.
