Hasegawa 1/72 Av-8b Harrier II Model Kit

The McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II is the US Marine Corps' V/STOL (Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing) attack aircraft, capable of operating from amphibious assault ships, forward operating bases, and expeditionary airfields without conventional runways. The AV-8B is a substantially redesigned version of the British Harrier, featuring a supercritical carbon fiber composite wing, raised cockpit, and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. The vectored thrust from the single Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine provides hover capability through four rotating nozzles. Hasegawa captures the unique STOVL aircraft with its distinctive intake and nozzle design.
