Airfix - Hawker Siddeley Harrier AV-8A - 1:72
(A04057)
The Harrier had been designed from the beginning to
attract export sales. The first of these was the US Marine Corps who began
to take an interest around 1969 when the jet was frist introduced into the
RAF service. Hawker Siddeley made some modifications to the aircraft and in
1971 the AV-8A Harrier entered service with the USMC as a close support
aircraft.
Operating from amphibious assault ships the Harrier's role was
to augment that of the larger US Navy warplanes by providing troops on the
battle field with close air support at a moments notice in a similar way to
that provided by helicopters but with heavier weapons. Paints for the Pilot
are 61, 63, 150
