    1/18 scale Harrier...

    New Hobbyboss release for those of us who like large scale aircraft.
    The AV-8B Harrier IIis a family of second-generation vertical/short takeoff and landing or V/STOLground-attack aircraft of the late 20th century. It is primarily used for lightattack or multi-role tas...


    What with the FW190 and Dauntless in 1/18 large scale really is getting big...

    I would love one myself but I think I will stay with 1/32.....

      It looks good, but It still lacks detail in the engine. But saying that if the price is right, I could be sorely tempted even at that scale, I've got all the others, and I also like some British markings for it.

            I like Harries lots, but the Av-8, well not for me really. I might try another 1:24 Airfix, yes, I'm a glutton for punishment.

                    I beleive Merit sell a 1/18 Harrier already built and painted. Maybe this is the same Harrier in kit form

                      Is it the plural of Harrier ?

                        That would cost you an 's', much easier and cheaper to remove a letter

                          But Colin if you get the Hobbyboss 1/18 there will be NO filling of the rivets like on the Airfix, I still shudder at the thought of all those rivets.

                            If you search eBay, you'll shudder at the cost of the old Airfix kit !
