The 1:144 AV-8B Harrier II plus set is a photo-etched accessory to a kit of this aircraft that you have already bought, not a model of its own. The metal parts replace detail that cannot be molded into plastic in 1:144 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
An accessory set from the Czech maker Brengun, etched from thin metal sheet and cut for one particular kit, the Revell one. It is not an airplane model; there is no plastic and no decal sheet in the box. The point of photo-etched parts lies in the thickness of the material: metal sheet manages details such as seat belts, the instrument panel, fine grilles, flaps and vanes that in injected plastic would only be suggested by engraving in this scale.
The AV-8B Harrier II is an American light attack aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capability, derived from the British concept with a vectored thrust nozzle. Compared with the first generation it received a new composite wing and a revised air intake. The version designated Plus brought a radar in the nose, which widened the machine's options in poor visibility and against airborne targets. The aircraft was designed to operate from ships and from improvised sites close to the front line.
Cut the photo-etched parts off with a scalpel on a hard surface; breaking them out will warp them. Make the bends in a bending tool or between two razor blades, always in one movement, because repeated bending and straightening fatigues the metal and breaks it. If a piece insists on its shape, anneal it briefly over a flame and it will be softer once it cools. Degrease the metal surface with alcohol before painting and prime it, otherwise the paint will peel off at the first handling. Dispense super glue from a drop on a tile with a pin, never straight from the tube.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
