I thought this was an interesting paint scheme on the osprey...Almost metallic looking...Does anyone know if this is going to be the standard scheme used?

Get rid of the paint, the aluminium, the titanium, the rubber, the stainless steel, the composite fiber and the ill thought, poorly applicated design altogether.

It is a white elephant.

Kill the Osprey and put the money saved in the pockets of the men and women who are the Marine Corps.

Errr....despite the odd rant above, I think that's a sharp paint job.

Looks nice but i'd think they would go for a camo scheme myself, not sure though.

Hmmm...Seeing as your profile say's you are from Canada...You have no say on the Marine Corps!  lmao jk bud...Why are you so against this airframe?

Back to the paint job...I think it looks pretty cool!  almost like the paint of the F-15E

That's one of the developmental, or pre-production birds, isn't it? Probably a YV-22A? My guess is it's just for promotional gigs. Squadron service birds will more than likely be some variation of USMC standard helo camo(Dark Green/dark brown) or USN Light gray bottom, darker gray top.
