October 18, 20204 yr Well, as I mentioned before you can get the black blades directly from Lego by phone.
October 19, 20204 yr Not in Australia..... you cant even get any of the specific parts online here anymore either ;-( Consider yourself the luckiest of the lucky!
October 19, 20204 yr Oh dear, didn‘t think of that. If you really want them then I could send you 6 blades but it wont be that cheap. Would be around 57 AUD. Send me a PN if you‘re interested. Edited October 19, 20204 yr by tismabrick

November 18, 20204 yr Author The red-white color scheme with a black nose turns out to be quite realistic and accurate. https://travelforaircraft.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/v-22-osprey-walkaround-write/
November 20, 20204 yr I ordered the blades and the remaining panels I needed yesterday by calling the Lego customer service number. They charged my account and sent a confirmation email so that's usually a good sign.Fingers crossed. I tried to order the dumb battery box but no go; the rep told me she showed they would be available on December 17th.
November 24, 20204 yr Just saw the press release of the new Technic Ferrari at brickset. Seems like it contains the black rotor blades from the osprey as side skirts :)

White-red Osprey is finally feasible.

February 1, 20214 yr First of all, a big thank you to @Ngoc Nguyen and @Andman for their work on this topic. Ospreys make training flights to my local airport, so it's a must have, even at eBay's prices. However, I haven't built many Technic sets, so the grinding gear fix is confusing to me. 1) Andman's PDF appears to show the original gear design and two alternate fixes. If so, is one fix better than the other? 2) Does the replacement gear assembly start on p.163, Step 220 of the instructions, and continue to the 3-beam in Step 223? I think I understand the torque fix PDF. We'll see! Is there a list of the extra parts that are needed to do the gearing and torque mods? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to Technic parts, so it would be hard for me to figure out what the pieces are. I'm also hoping that @efferman will keep working on his wing stowage mod. That's such an iconic feature of the Osprey. Edited February 1, 20214 yr by petero user tags didn't work

Sorry for the late reply. 1)Â The second version is better because the gears are braced from both sides. 2) Yes. On 2/2/2021 at 3:44 AM, petero said: Is there a list of the extra parts that are needed to do the gearing and torque mods? Yes. I've just added them to the first post. Required additional parts for the gearing mod: - 3x 8z gears, part number 10928 - 2x 5L thin liftarm with axle holes, part number 11478. Required additional parts for the torque mod: - 1x 3L liftarm, part number 32523. - 2x 20z gear, part number 32269 - 1x 2L pin connector, part number 62462 - 2x Pinhole with pins on both sides, part number 87082 - 2x Half bush, part number 4265c - 2x 2L axle connector, part number 6538c - 2x 6L axle, part number 3706
February 4, 20214 yr Thank you @Ngoc Nguyen for the clarifications and parts lists. Don't worry about the late reply - my Osprey hasn't left Russia yet, so it'll be awhile before it gets to me. In the meantime, I can order the extra parts and be ready when it gets here. I've also started building the Osprey in Studio, which will be a fun but daunting task. I've used LDD for many years, but it will still be a steep learning curve. Already I've had to learn how to import a part (the battery box) from the LDraw parts library, and I'll have to fix its connectivity before it will actually be usable. I'm also starting to build the 42114 Volvo Articulated Hauler, so I'm learning a lot about Technic gearboxes from that! Â

February 4, 20214 yr No... but shipping and tax pushed it over $500. I started out by pricing the parts on Bricklink (thanks to your lists!). The Bricklink parts were about $300 plus shipping charges from 6 or 7 stores. When I added the battery box, rotor blades and triangular panels from LEGO, the cost ended up close to $400. For a bit more than that, I could get the official LEGO set instead. I figure that in 10 years the real, used set will be worth far more than a pile of 1500 parts that happen to build an Osprey Ospreys train at my local airport about once a month, so this is a must-have set for me . Of course, they don't have orange markings and Rescue on them, but I can live with that. Maybe someday I'll replace the orange pieces with gray

February 16, 20214 yr Author The battery box is finally listed on Bricklink. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=bb1165c01&idColor=86#T=C&C=86
