The Reskit set of wheels for the first generation Harrier in 1:32 scale is a resin accessory that replaces the wheels from the box. It is not a kit of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin replacement for the landing gear wheels, not a model of the aircraft. According to the name the set is intended for the family of the first Harriers, the land-based and naval versions designated GR.1, GR.3, FRS.1, Sea Harrier and AV-8A. The wheels are a detail the eye falls on first, because the model stands on them, and yet they tend to be skimped in a base kit: a coarse tread, shallow hub detail and a tire perfectly round, as though the weight of the aircraft had never rested on it.
The first generation Harrier has an unusual landing gear arrangement. Instead of a classic three-point configuration it stands on a tandem arrangement under the fuselage complemented by outrigger gear at the wingtips. The wheels therefore carry the load differently from a conventional aircraft and their shape and tread are characteristic of the type. For a modeler that means an inaccuracy on the wheels shows more on a Harrier than on other machines.
The main added value of resin wheels is usually the suggested sag of the tire under the weight of the aircraft and a more legible tread. When gluing them, watch that the contact patch faces straight down, otherwise the model stands crooked. Wash the mold release off the parts and let them dry. The hub and the tire are painted differently, so it pays either to spray them separately and touch them in with a brush or to use a masking disc on the hub. A tire is not black: use a dark gray tone, which looks more natural on a model, and dust the lower part with a fine pigment.
The accessory is supplied unpainted. The set is cut for one specific kit, which the name states; please check the match with the model you are building before you buy. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
