Short historical description: The Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1 and T.2 were pioneering VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) strike aircraft serving in the Royal Air Force from the late 1960s. The AV-8A and AV-8C versions entered service with the United States Marine Corps in the 1970s. These aircraft were used during the Cold War for close support and expeditionary operations, their advantage being the ability to operate from short runways and amphibious assault ships.

Service period: The main years of operation were during the Cold War (from the late 1960s through the 1980s).

• Manufacturer: Master – a leader in the production of metal scale modeling accessories.
• Assembly difficulty: 2/5 – recommended for modelers with basic experience, but easy enough for less advanced hobbyists wishing to improve the realism of their models.
• Recommended for: Suitable for all modelers who care about detail and a high level of historical accuracy. Ideal both for ‘out of the box’ builds and competition projects.
• Why choose this? Master’s metal details significantly enhance the realism of miniatures, providing outstanding precision and durability – plastic alternatives are often less durable and more prone to damage during model construction and handling.

Summary: Master AM-144-036 is an essential premium 1:144 accessory for Harrier models, taking miniature detail to the next level. An absolute “must have” for aviation enthusiasts and Cold War military model collectors!
