Heritage VTOL kit - Italeri 1435 - 1/72 Hawker Harrier GR.I 50th Anniversary Model Kit  [IT-1435S]

Celebrating the Harrier: Italeri 1/72 Hawker Harrier GR.I

The Hawker Harrier GR.I is a landmark in military aviation, famed for its vertical and short takeoff and landing capability. Designed in the 1960s by Hawker Siddeley, the aircraft uses a single Pegasus turbofan and four vectored thrust nozzles to deliver exceptional low-speed control and hover performance.

This kit marks the commemorative appearance of the Harrier GR.I in the Daily Mail Trans-Atlantic Air Race of May 1969. That run from the Post Office Tower in London to the Empire State Building in New York highlighted the Harrier's unique performance and placed it among notable postwar aviation achievements.

Build quality and display potential

Model makers will find the Italeri 1/72 Harrier GR.I rewarding to assemble. The kit supplies precision-molded parts, super decals for three paint schemes, and clear color guidance to help achieve an accurate finish. Once built, the model presents a compact, attention-grabbing display of VTOL engineering.
