With careful assembly, the kit shows accurate fuselage contours and panel detail. The 1/72 format makes it possible to achieve excellent results with standard modelling tools, paints and finishing techniques.

The AV-8B Harrier II Plus has been notable for its operational flexibility, and the kit offers a way to represent that legacy in a display cabinet or on a diorama. Its scale and detailing make it a useful addition to themed model displays.

  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required

Is painting required to achieve a realistic finish?

Painting is recommended to bring out the model's detail and to replicate authentic markings. Use a primer and thin coats of paint for an even finish before applying decals.

Can the kit be posed in a vertical takeoff configuration?

The model represents the Harrier's VTOL form visually, but mechanical tilt nozzle movement is not included. You can display the model to suggest a hover stance using a clear stand or diorama elements.

Are spare decals or replacement parts available?

Spare decals and after-market detail sets may be available from specialist suppliers. If small parts are lost during build, modelling shops can supply replacement tools and repair materials to restore components.

What scale accessories suit this kit for diorama work?

Accessories in 1/72 scale such as ground crew figures, vehicle sets and service equipment work well to create a credible scene. Match the scale and style to maintain realism across the display.
