When the news was leaked that Airfix was to release a new kit of this important aircraft, many wondered how far it would improve on what was aiready available (both from their own range and those of their competitors) and whether it would further show how far Airfix had come since their takeover by Hornby. Well, right from the off I can reveal that unlike the rather unimpressive Sea Harriers released several years ago, this new Harrier is well detailed, well appointed and accurate in outline and appearance. Set-up options abound with a choice of intakes, LERX, raised or lowered undercar-riage, raised or lowered flaps (only appropriate in the main for a 'flying' model, though there are a few odd exceptions when these can be seen 'down' on the ground...), refuelling probe, weapons and markings, which is not bad for a kit that retails for around pound10!
