RE: [SG2] matchbox vehicle alert - V22 Osprey

I found something similar to this yesterday which will be about the same
size assembled.  It was a 1/72 scale V22 Osprey that had been sitting in
the
window for at least 18 months as a display (pretty good detail).
Not quite sure if I'll assemble according to the instructions or kitbash
it
into a jet attack version yet.
(I'd love to fly one for real; it'll never happen though.)
