Kinetic K48060 Harrier GR1/GR3 1/48 – plastic model kit

The Kinetic K48060 Harrier GR1/GR3 1/48 scale model is a precisely crafted kit that allows you to build a miniature of one of the most fascinating aircraft in British military aviation. The model offers two variants of the VTOL aircraft: GR1 and GR3, both of which played a pivotal role in RAF operations throughout the second half of the 20th century.

Historical Details:

The Hawker Siddeley Harrier, used mainly by the Royal Air Force (United Kingdom), was the world's first V/STOL (Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing) fighter jet. The GR1 and GR3 versions took part, among others, in the 1982 Falklands conflict. These aircraft were in service from the late 1960s/early 1970s up until the mid-1980s (Cold War period). The Harrier became famous for its ability to operate from short runways and from ship decks.
