1/72 AV-8B Harrier II - USMC Attacker - Plastic Model Kit.

The world's first practical V/STOL attack aircraft, the Harrier, first flew in 1960. Attracting the attention of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) for it's potential as a ground support fighter, the plane was adopted as the AV-8A, but several design shortcomings such as limited payload and range had to be ironed out before the plane could go on line.

These changes would prove to take much longer to work out before being realized on the new AV-8B, which finally matched Leatherneck performance stats. Major modifications on the main wings of the craft were perhaps the most notable changes.
