Hi all,

Wonder if anyone out there can enlighten me about the origins of the
1/72 Revell Harrier GR5, kit no 04349?
Is it the Italeri one, the old ESCI kit or a rebox of the Hasegawa model?
I know that Revell have been put both Hasegawa's Orion and Viking plus the Italeri Wessex and Jaguar into their box's.
Add to that the fact of some the old ESCI kits turning up in Italeri wrappers, are any of those being passed on to Revell?

Thanks in advance for any advise
Regards
Vincent

Could it even be Matchbox? I remember they did up to a GR3, not sure about GR5 or even what the difference is. But Revell have been boxing a lot of old Matchbox kits lately.

Ok i saw this kit in the hobby shop today, and rest assured it's not Matchbox anyway. From box side pics it looks like it has raised panel lines...if it was matchbox it would have trenches. Your first guess is probably right- Esci.
