Armory Models AW32404 H.S. Harrier GR.1/GR.3/FRS.1/AV-8A wheels w/ weighted tyres 1/32

Armory Models AW32404 is a high-quality upgrade set in 1/32 scale, designed for H.S. Harrier GR.1, GR.3, FRS.1, and AV-8A models. This carefully crafted set of wheels with weighted tyres, made of resin, is an excellent addition to Revell plastic kits and those from other manufacturers, universally fitting all early Harrier variants.

• Scale: 1/32 – making this set ideal for large models, allowing modelers to achieve impressive landing gear detail realism.
• Operator countries: United Kingdom, United States, and other countries operating the Harrier.
• Historical context: The Hawker Siddeley Harrier is the famous vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft, used among others by the RAF, Royal Navy, and US Marines. The GR.1/GR.3 variants operated during the Cold War, for example during the Falklands War (1982), where the FRS.1 Harriers played a key role in air operations over the South Atlantic.
• Years of use: From the late 1960s through the late 20th century—primarily the Cold War and modern operations up to the early 21st century.
• Material: High-quality resin, ensuring sharp, detailed tread and rim reproduction. "Weighted" tyres with subtle flattening accurately replicate the loaded effect of the aircraft on the runway.
• Category: Model enhancement – a set of resin details for scale model assembly, a precise upgrade for 1/32 scale aircraft models.
• Contents: The set includes a full set of front and main wheels with tyres, ready for painting, fitting Revell and other models without modification.
• Recommendation: Especially recommended for advanced modelers seeking to increase realism in their Harrier, as well as for collectors focusing on historical detail. For less experienced modelers, it can be a challenging but rewarding addition to the collection.
• Difficulty level: 2/5 – assembly should not pose problems even for intermediate hobbyists; requires basic resin handling skills and precise painting.

The high casting quality and dimensional accuracy with the original make Armory Models AW32404 a must-have for demanding military aviation enthusiasts seeking to faithfully reproduce their Harrier model—be it the RAF configuration from the Cold War period or the Royal Navy version used during the Falklands conflict.
