I'm pretty sure that they don't embark KC-130s and that they do embark helicopters.
Nice work ashebourton

Update, added the hypothetical paint scheme for an IAF V-22.

If no one is aware, The Israeli Defense Ministry is currently in the process purchasing a dozen from the US Dept of Defense to bolster it's special force's capabilities and will fly alongside the CH-53. So I drew this to go along with the color scheme of the 114 Squadron, currently comprised of CH-53's.

As of right now, no V-22's have been delivered to Israel.

I just made a bunch on helicopters to go with my sons wooden train set (CH47s, CH54s and V22s) looking for paint schemes I came across this page which will be a great resource.

I'd like to know the significance of the markings on the blades. All V22s seem to have the inboard double white stripes. What does the denote? Some otherwise seem to have completely black blades while others have the white/red stripes on the tips. Why the different markings?

Thanks

next version with dust filters ?? currently being designed & the basic sheet-metal of the new engine-pod fronts has already been flown on the test bird (appearance of the filters shown as decals on the 1:1 aircraft).

@Mysta 2 ---- The double white markings in the center portion of the blades denote the center of gravity for the purpose of removing the blades. The blades are removed with the use of a sling and the sling is positioned there as well.

@raafif ---- The test plane already has the dust filters, unfortunately in the case of my drawing, they were only installed on the opposite nacelle.
