Italeri released a 1/48th Osprey. I myself never seen the kit outside it's box, but have seen it built in other modeling fourms.

V-22 Osprey

There was a great article on building up a motorized MV-22 Osprey in the DEC '06 Fine Scale Modeler magazine. It looked really good.

I'm not sure why the links isn't working Lou, in anyhow you can find them in many of the on-line hobbyshops as in ebay. You can do a goggle.com search under...1/48th Osprey, 1/48th V22 Osprey, 1/48th V22 and so on.

As Joe says, it is pretty readily available. Here it is at Great Models Webstore. There is a link to a review of the kit as well.

Both the USAF and the USMC operate thier own version at present and there are some differences in the two. Whether they carry the same designation I do not know, but sometimes a/c in use by differnet US services do carry differnet designations(A and B).
Also after the a/c has been in use and major improvements are made the designation will change, but it is to soon for that to happen right now.
