Tamiya 1/48 Masterpiece Aircraft Series No. 26 Royal Navy Sea Harrier FRS.1 Plastic Model 61026

This is a plastic assembly kit of the Royal Air Force's Sea Harrier FRS.1, a carrier-based version of the Harrier, the world's first operational V/STOL (Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing) fighter-attack aircraft. It was the British carrier-based version of the Harrier, and dominated the Argentine Air Force's Mirage III during the 1982 Falklands War. The Sea Harrier's distinctive features, such as its variable nozzle and large, high-visibility canopy, are faithfully reproduced. The realistic turbofan engine inside the fuselage is also reproduced, with the engine nozzle being movable. The canopy and air brake can be displayed in either open or closed position. The extensive armament, including Sidewinders, 1000-pound bombs, and a 30mm Aden cannon pod, demonstrates the Sea Harrier's superior offensive power. Includes three decals. This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly and painting. Tools, paint, etc. are sold separately.
