Am thinking of picking up a Harrier as they just look cool. I think the 1/48 scale is a good working size. What kits would you all recommend and even photo etch to jazz up the details like cockpit etc.
Dheers.

The best Harrier kits out there as of right now I would say are the Hasegawa kits. They have all 3 versions. The regular "B" version, the night attack version and the Plus version.

The kits go togather well and there is a Pe set out there for them as well.

Hasegawa by far are the best. I did run into some minor problems with the wings mating to the fuselage properly . The top will line up fine but the underneath is where I had the problems . Otherwise great kits!!!
