Trumpeter 1/32 Scale AV-8B Harrier II Model Kit 

The United States Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier II is a mediumsized attack aircraft capable of both Vertical and Short Take-Off and Landing[V/STOL]. The revolutionary design of the Harrier originally came from BritishAerospace Engineering [BAe now BAE]. When the US needed a "jump jet"for the USMC to operate from Assault Ships, which had a much smaller runwaythan carriers, the McDonnell Douglas Corporation took the BAE Harrier anddrastically redesigned it. BAE rejoined the project, and the Harrier II wasborn. McDonnell Douglas was merged with Boeing, and the Boeing/BAE partnershipcontinued through to create the Harrier II Plus, a more advanced version of theUSMC jet.

 

Trumpeter's 1/32 scale AV-8B Harrier II accurately represents theUSMC's main workhorse well.
