Italeri 2622 - 1/48 V-22 Osprey: Kit Overview for Scale Builders

The Italeri 2622 - 1/48 V-22 Osprey kit gives scale modellers a chance to reproduce a modern tiltrotor aircraft in plastic. The V-22's hybrid design, used by the US Navy and Marines, is captured through purposefully detailed components that reward careful assembly and finishing.

Background and Operational Role

The V-22 mixes helicopter vertical lift and fixed-wing cruise to support missions requiring speed and flexibility. Building this subject helps modellers understand how its unique layout serves real-world transport and assault roles.

Assembly Considerations and Display Outcome

This 1/48 scale Italeri kit sits at a moderate skill level and asks for precise fit and paint work. Accurate rotor alignment and tidy fuselage seams are key to producing a convincing display model once complete.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Required to enhance realism
The kit is a moderate challenge. Expect careful trimming and test-fitting, especially around the rotor pylons and tail fairings. Prior experience with 1/48 aircraft helps, but dedicated beginners can complete it with patience.
Most builds use the kit parts as supplied. Some modellers add finer detail with aftermarket decals, photo-etch, or resin parts for cockpit and sensors to lift realism.
Use thin coats and build colour in layers. Pre-shading panel lines and masking rotors separately will give a cleaner result. Follow reference photos for correct tones and markings.
