Italeri 1/72 Harrier GR.3 Kit Overview

The Harrier GR.3 became a key jump jet thanks to vertical/short takeoff and landing capabilities introduced by Hawker Siddeley in the 1960s. The GR.3 featured avionics improvements including a nose laser tracker and ECM gear, and saw operational service during the 1982 Falklands operations.

Scale Accuracy and Build Highlights

This Italeri 1/72 kit renders the GR.3's external profile and weapon fittings with attention to scale. In service the aircraft carried two 30 mm guns and a selection of rockets and guided bombs; the model supports representing those configurations.

Display Potential and Marking Choices

Once built, the kit makes a strong display model. The included decal sheet offers six marking options so builders can choose period-correct liveries or create a personalised finish.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Decals: Includes options for 6 versions
Basic modelling tools are advised: sprue cutters, hobby knife, fine files, sandpaper, plastic cement and paint brushes or airbrush. A magnifier can help with small detail parts.
The kit provides cockpit components suitable for 1/72 scale. Detail level is good for the scale, and painting enhances the instrument and seat details.
Decals perform well with a setting solution and careful trimming. Applying a gloss coat under the decals helps them settle neatly over curves.
