Introduced into service in the early 1970s, Harriers (AV-8A/GR.1/GR.3/FRS.1) are first-generation VTOL aircraft that became an essential component of the air forces of the United Kingdom and many NATO countries during the Cold War and regional conflicts such as the Falklands War in 1982. These aircraft’s unique feature was the directional exhaust nozzles that enabled vertical takeoff and landing—realistically reproducing them is crucial for achieving an authentic miniature.

The Aires set delivers ultra-precise details, clearly surpassing the plastic components from the base kit in both sharpness of detail and surface structure. The resin allows for the reproduction of complex internal geometry and technical details not found in plastic models.

We recommend this product for experienced modelers and military aviation enthusiasts seeking the highest level of realism. It is ideal both for diorama construction and collector's display models. The set will enhance the value of any Italeri Harrier model in 1/72 scale.

• Assembly difficulty: 3/5 (working with resin requires precision and experience)

In summary, Aires 7385 Harrier AV-8A/GR.1/GR.3/FRS.1 exhaust nozzles is an excellent upgrade for any modeler striving for a perfect reproduction of the iconic Harrier in 1/72 scale.
