50th anniversary collector edition - Italeri 1435 - 1/72 Hawker Harrier GR.I 50th Anniversary Model Kit  [IT-1435S]

Italeri 1/72 Hawker Harrier GR.I - a compact piece of aviation heritage

The Hawker Harrier GR.I became well known for its VTOL and STOL performance, a concept developed by Hawker Siddeley in the 1960s. Its single Pegasus turbofan engine and four vectored nozzles provided the thrust vectoring needed for vertical lift and agile low-speed handling.

The kit honours the Harrier GR.I's participation in the Daily Mail Trans-Atlantic Air Race in May 1969, a notable run from the Post Office Tower in London to New York's Empire State Building that demonstrated the aircraft's range and speed profile.
