Considering getting the kit as I'm on a bit of a harrier thing at the moment but how is it? the sea harrier hasnt gotten much love but I've seen nothing at all about the land variants. Does it have the goodies shown in box art (targetting pods weapons etc)?

Basically the Harrier GR.7/9 is as nice and accurate as the Sea Harriers are ghastly: it does not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath. It drew favourable comment when it first came out but was quickly supplanted in the gossip columns by the new Spitfire I. If Airfix were doing the kit now it would have shallower panel lines but at least they are narrow, if deep. The kit's main weakness is in some of the stores: can't remember the details but I think the Paveways are either poorly represented or the wrong type.

Drewe gets the main points. The Aero 300s are a bit better than those in the Skyhawk
