1/48 Hawker Sea Harrier

Tamiya - 1/48 Hawker Sea Harrier

First tested in concept in 1960, the Hawker Siddeley Harrier went through many periods of testing and modification prior to acceptance by the Royal Air Force and other nations in 1974. The first FRS.1 to fly was actually the initial production Sea Harrier, on 20 August 1978, and the prototype model later in December 1978. The Sea Harriers, along with the GR3 Harriers from the RAF, were put to actual combat tests during the recent Falkland Islands crisis. The British South Atlantic force was built up with the addition of GR3 and Frs.1 Harriers bringing the total jump jet strength to around 40 aircraft on carriers Hermes and Invincible. Measures 302 mm long when fully assembled.
