About product

AV-8B Harrier II 1:32 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American vertical take-off attack aircraft AV-8B Harrier II in the large 1:32 scale from Trumpeter. It is a big model with a finely engraved surface, complemented by clear plastic for the canopy glazing, a small photo-etched fret and rubber tires. The large scale brings out the shape of the fuselage, the swiveling nozzles and the rich underwing armament. Note: this box is the basic version without the nose radar, unlike the later Harrier II Plus variant.

The real subject

The AV-8B Harrier II is an American single-seat subsonic attack aircraft of the US Marine Corps with vertical and short take-off and landing capability (V/STOL). It grew out of the British Harrier and is distinguished by the vectored thrust of its engine with swiveling nozzles, thanks to which it can operate from small aircraft carriers and amphibious ships without a conventional runway. It was used for close air support of ground units and for light strike tasks.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and work in subassemblies; bond the small photo-etched and clear parts with super glue. Finish and paint the cockpit before you close the fuselage. Apply a primer before painting and lay the paints on with an airbrush; on gray naval schemes a discreet accent on the panel lines pays off. Paint the swiveling nozzles and the pylons and fit them at the very end of the build.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern American combat aircraft in the large 1:32 scale
  • Fans of the vertical take-off Harrier and of the US Marine Corps
  • More experienced modelers who appreciate a big and detailed model
  • Builders who want to show off the underwing armament and the swiveling nozzles

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

FAQ

It is an American single-seat attack aircraft of the US Marine Corps with vertical and short take-off and landing capability. Thanks to the swiveling nozzles of its engine it can operate from small ships and without a conventional runway.

This is the basic version without the nose radar. The Plus variant has an APG-65 radar built into a lengthened nose, which widens its use against both ground and air targets.

Besides the plastic parts the box holds clear plastic for the canopy glazing, a small photo-etched fret and rubber tires.
