The Master AM-72-050 set is dedicated to Harrier GR.1, T.2, AV-8A, and AV-8C aircraft models in 1:72 scale. This product is intended for modelers who expect the highest quality of details and additional elements to enrich Harrier fighter models. The offered set includes a precisely turned brass Pitot tube and angle of attack probe, which perfectly replicate the real aircraft equipment components.

The world-renowned VTOL Harrier (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft were used primarily by the United Kingdom, the United States, and Spain. The GR.1 and T.2 models served with the Royal Air Force during the Cold War, starting from the early 1970s, while the AV-8A and AV-8C are American variants operated by the USMC from 1971 onward. Harriers participated in, among other things, the Falklands War, demonstrating their unique ability to operate from improvised airstrips.
