The Harrier GR.7 and GR.9 aircraft, manufactured by Hawker Siddeley (H.S.), along with their American counterpart AV-8B, are among the most famous vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) machines, used by the air forces of the United Kingdom, United States, and allied nations from the 1980s to the present day. They have taken part in numerous conflicts, including the Falklands War, operations in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan—where they proved themselves as close air support aircraft. The wheels with weighted tyre effect accurately represent the specific compression of the tyres typical of an aircraft parked on an airfield or ship deck.

The Armory Models AW48417 set enables an incredibly realistic representation of key landing gear accents, which greatly enriches the final effect for discerning collectors or experienced modelers. The difficulty level is rated at 2/5 – assembly and fitting of the wheels is not complicated, although prior experience with resin products is recommended. We strongly recommend this kit to hobbyists aiming for the perfect finish of their Harrier models, who care about the historical and technical authenticity of their aircraft in 1/48 scale.

Thanks to this upgrade set, your model aircraft collection will gain a unique and professional character, and every Harrier will become the pride of your collection and an element appreciated by fellow modeling enthusiasts!
