Introduction

Airfix’s 1/72nd Harrier Gr.1/3 kits have both been re-tooled in the last year or so, and although they are pretty well detailed, there is always room for improvement. The Airfix Harrier GR.1 kit is reviewed here. Pavla have seen what needs improving and released a nice set of exhaust nozzles which fit both the GR.1 and GR.3 kits.

In the bag

Packed in a re-sealable bag the four exhaust nozzles are cast as one piece affairs, unlike the Airfix kit parts which are made up of two parts each.
Each nozzle has a casting block attached, but a sharp knife and a little sanding soon removes the block.
Compared to the kit parts these are a lot more refined and have a deeper profile for the slats, and are at a slightly different angle.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.
