Expand A study of how not to design a functional aeroplane? :P i kid, i just cant see past the missing elevators on that set, or rather, lake of functional wings, given that the wings are so far back and are small enough to give an F104 delusions of magnum sized wings. The creator blue power jet was a pretty example as well, everyone with half a brain will think "F-35" when looking at that set. Personally i dont think the osprey being military is a big deal, it isnt a weapon system, just a transport, and things like the Unimog and Space Shuttle have been used by the military as well (in non direct combat roles) Quote

Cranes and telehandlers as well. The engineering corps use anything you'd find at a construction site, really. Quote

Harder to invent a proper civilian purpose for a tank. Quote
hjxbf Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 The Osprey was a contender for the renewal of Norwegian Civil SAR helicopters a few years back, so it has been marketed towards a non-military application. Quote

Expand SAR would make total sense for the brand, maybe for the coast guard or some other organisation that's also a bit less militaristic. Orange as a colour would also fit that bill perfectly. Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 It's official. This is the longest we've ever had to wait for 2H images. Quote
AVCampos Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 I, on the other hand, am glad leaks aren't as badly contained as in previous years. Quote

Expand Thing is, it didn't seem to impact things much last year releasing images a bit earlier. There have been no knockoff versions of 42097, 42098 or 42099. The only wholesale knockoff was of 42110 and there was a not-really-much-of-a-copy of 42100. We didn't see the whole wave getting knocked off as with previous years. Quote

Expand I'm surprised at that, since the 42097 and 42098 don't have any new moulds (only new colours, which is easy to clone), whereas the 42099 has the complex PUp elements and planetary hubs. Quote

agrof Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) I am not very interested on the truck, but definitely looks like a potent model. The Osprey... the Osprey... that thing looks really-realy good (expect maybe the yellow/orange engine covers). Edited June 1, 2020 by agrof Quote
Zerobricks Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Interesting, the leak of the cement mixer I saw had white barrel. I love osprey's color combo, it looks epic. Edited June 1, 2020 by Zerobricks Quote
