Design Background and Operational Role

Developed in the 1970s for carrier operation, the Sea Harrier handled air defence and close support tasks. Its combat record in the Falklands underscores its tactical flexibility.

The Italeri kit offers well-defined components and realistic proportions. With a final length near 20 cm, the assembled model presents well on a shelf or as part of a themed display.

Some tiny components require careful handling during removal from sprues. Use a sharp hobby knife and fine cutters to minimise stress on delicate parts.
Modellers often add resin or photo-etched details for enhanced cockpit or landing gear realism. Check compatibility with 1/72 accessories before purchasing upgrades.
Thin coats of acrylic or enamel, followed by panel-line washes and subtle weathering, maintain scale appearance without obscuring fine detail.
