Corgi 1/72 Harrier AV8A US Marines (AA32403)

Special Price

A nicely detailed model of the AV8A Harrier, used by the US Marines. The Marines found the Harrier to be the ideal tactical support aircraft, able to provide air cover and destroy ground targets. The ability to operate from rapidly prepared forward bases close behind the front line was a huge bonus!

Note : The last few remaining of this US Marines Harrier model were supplied incorrectly boxed.

Hawker Siddeley AV-8A Harrier - U. S. Marine Corps. The United States placed an initial order for 12 Harriers under the designation AV-8A, but these proved so successful that the order was increased to 110. including eight two-seaters . These aircraft can carry AIM-9 sidewinder missiles for air-to-air combat and the USMC have adapted their Harriers to use thrust-vectoring ( VIFF ) in dog-fight situations. VMA-231 " Aces " was the first U. S. Marine Corps Harrier Squadron.
