Hasegawa 00235 - 1/72 B5 Sea Harrier FRS Mk1: Builder Overview

This Hasegawa 1/72 B5 Sea Harrier FRS Mk1 kit recreates the compact profile of the British VTOL fighter used in the 1980s. The box contains crisply molded PS parts that let modellers reproduce the aircraft's lines and service appearance with close attention to scale detail.

Why this airframe matters

The Sea Harrier FRS Mk1 earned recognition for its VTOL capability and naval role during the Falklands conflict, making it a popular subject for military aircraft modelling. Its operational history adds context for display and diorama projects.

What to expect when building

Parts are well defined with cockpit and fuselage detail that rewards careful assembly. Small components and fine seams mean the kit is best suited to modellers comfortable with glue, sanding and paint. Patience during preparation and masking will improve final realism.

Finished model presentation

Completed at 1/72 scale, this Sea Harrier makes a compact but striking display piece. It works well in squadron groupings or as a standalone shelf model, showing off accurate proportions and surface detail when properly finished.
