About product

Harrier GR.3 Laser in 1:144 scale from Mark I

An unassembled and unpainted kit in injection-molded plastic from the Mark I brand. The 1:144 scale is aimed at collectors who build survey collections and want machines of different generations side by side at a comparable size. The exact contents of the package, the number of parts and the list of decal schemes are not stated here, so go by the assembly instructions in the box.

The real subject

The Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.3 was a single-seat strike and reconnaissance aircraft of the Royal Air Force with vertical and short takeoff. Power came from a single turbofan engine with thrust vectoring, whose four swiveling nozzles allowed takeoff and landing from a short surface even away from a conventional runway. The GR.3 version is told from earlier variants by the lengthened forward fuselage with a laser rangefinder and target designator, which is where the subtitle on the box comes from. The wing is high-mounted with prominent outrigger landing gear legs at the tips, and the main landing gear is arranged in tandem under the fuselage.

Building and painting tips

Cut the small parts, above all the landing gear legs and the swiveling nozzles, with a sharp knife and sand them cleanly. Glue with liquid cement for plastic drawn into the seam only once the parts are seated. It is worth masking the cockpit before spraying; at this scale narrow masking tape or liquid masking putty will do. Lay down a thin primer and only then the paint, applied with an airbrush in several light coats. Darker camouflages benefit from preshading the panel lines so that the model does not look flat. Apply the decals onto a gloss coat with a decal softener and seal everything with a matte coat.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of postwar and modern aviation in 1:144 scale.
  • Modelers who want a machine with an unconventional propulsion solution in the display case.
  • Anyone interested in the Royal Air Force and its strike aircraft.
  • Modelers with experience of small parts and an airbrush.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The most striking difference is the lengthened forward fuselage, which housed the laser targeting equipment. Check the detailed configuration of a particular machine against the instructions and the scheme you choose.

The number of parts is not stated here. The exact breakdown is given in the assembly instructions in the box.

The 1:144 scale means small parts, above all the landing gear and the nozzles. With tweezers, a sharp knife and patience the model can be built even by the less experienced, though for a complete start we would choose a larger scale.

It is not a condition, but at this scale an airbrush gives a far thinner and smoother coat than a brush. Always apply the paint in light coats.
