1:72 Scale Diecast Metal ? Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey ? Length: 9.75" Wingspan: 8.75? This Osprey model has a landing gear that is fixed in the extended position and the box includes a stand where the model can be attached for display. The wheels can roll freely and are quite smooth (so be careful where you put this thing, or it could roll downhill). The fuselage is all metal and really quite heavy. The wings, tail assembly and the engines are made of plastic. This models has a few interesting features. The most obvious one is that the engines can rotate 90 degrees. If the model were to be displayed on its landing gear, then the engines would have to be rotated "up" since the propeller are so big that they would interfere with the ground. The propellers have a some interesting articulations that allows them to pivot and to fold, this is so that one can display the model as if it were in storage inside a ship (to save space). Also the wing assembly can rotate along its center and lineup along the fuselage, just as the real craft does to allow for storage and reduce its foot print. Lastly, the door at the rear of the craft is operable (this is how cargo and/or troops would load and unload).
