Hasegawa 1/72 AV-8A Harrier: Classic VTOL modeller subject

The Hasegawa 1/72 AV-8A Harrier kit enables modellers to recreate a classic vertical takeoff aircraft in compact scale. Famous for its VTOL capability and service history, the Harrier is presented here with accurate shaping and finely cast parts that make for an engaging build and a smart display item.

Historical background and appeal

First appearing in the late 1960s, the AV-8A played a key role in demonstrating vertical lift in modern military aviation. This kit gives modellers a practical way to study the airframes form and detailing while building a piece with genuine historical interest.

Construction, finishing and display advice

The model requires glue for assembly and careful painting to show off the Harriers panel work. Fine detail handling and patient masking will reward builders with a convincing military finish that suits shelf display or inclusion in themed dioramas.
