Pretty much perfect straight out of the box. No painting or decaling required. Mostly snap-fit but some parts need glue. Probably the most difficult part is gluing in the microscopic pitot tubes.

1/144 Tomytec Gimix Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey
This is the 1/144 scale Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey from Tomytec's Gimix line. In comparison to the F-Toys V-22 Osprey, this kit is much more complex and significantly more expensive. However, the level of detail is incredible.

1/144 F-Toys Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey
The Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey is a tilt-rotor military aircraft that is currently in service with the US Marine Corps, US Air Force, and US Navy.
The model seen here is a 1/144 scale partially-built pre-painted kit (aka. shokugan/食玩) from F-Toys. Straight out of the package, this was very not one of F-Toys’ better quality kits. Paint app quality was rather poor and the seamlines were terrible. As a result, some putty and sanding was needed, as well as a complete repaint. Good thing all of the markings were provided as water-slide decals. The panel-lines were accentuated with a 0.3mm mechanical pencil.
