Italeri 1/72 Harrier GR.3 - Historical Scale Kit

The Harrier GR.3, developed from Hawker Siddeley designs of the 1960s, is famed for vectored thrust VTOL and STOL operations. The GR.3 variant featured enhancements like a nose-mounted laser tracker and improved ECM systems, and saw notable action in the 1982 Falklands campaign.

Historical Context and Scale Appeal

This Italeri 1/72 kit aims to represent the GR.3's operational form and external stores. Historically it carried two 30 mm cannon and a variety of air-to-ground ordnance; the model includes parts to depict these options realistically.

Collecting and Finish Details

The completed model suits museum-style displays or wartime dioramas. The supplied decal sheet covers six different marking schemes, enabling accurate restoration of period liveries or creative customisation.
