1/72 AV-8A Harrier from Italeri 1410 - kit introduction

The AV-8A Harrier is a notable VTOL aircraft first developed from Hawker Siddeley studies in the 1960s and introduced to service in 1971. It served with British Royal Air Force and Royal Navy units before and alongside adoption by the United States Marine Corps, performing roles such as close air support, ground attack and defence of expeditionary forces.

The Italeri 1/72 scale kit recreates the AV-8A for scale modelling collectors and hobbyists. The set includes a super decals sheet with two marking options and a clear colour instruction sheet to guide painting and assembly for an authentic representation.

What is the expected build time for this kit?

Build time varies with experience and finishing level. A straightforward assemble and paint could take several evenings, while detailed painting and weathering will extend the project significantly.

Will additional aftermarket parts improve the model?

Aftermarket can enhance detail such as photo-etched parts or resin cockpits, but the kit as supplied builds into a very presentable model without extras.

How should I store completed models to avoid damage?

Keep finished models away from direct sunlight and dust, ideally in a display case or covered shelf. Stable room temperature and minimal handling will preserve paint and decals.

Does the kit include alternative weapon or ordnance options?

The kit focuses on airframe accuracy and marking options. It does not include an extensive selection of weapons; check the parts list in the instructions for what is supplied.
