                              1/48 "AIRFIX" Sea Harrier FRS Mk1

                                              By Kairasp Daruwala

  This is my 1/48 Sea Harrier FRS Mk1 by Airfix.First flown on 21 August
  1978 the Sea Harrier is the Naval version of GR3 & shares many common features with the land based aircrafts.The major difference lie in the front  
  fusalage,the raised cockpit and Ferranti Blue Fox radar.The airframe contains many Aluminum based alloy & special paint coating to counter corrosive effect ofthe salt laden sea spray.

  First combat experiance was gained in 1982 in South Atlantic when the Sea Harrier shot down many enemy aircraft's and suffered no losses in dog-fight,despite being heavily out numbered.

  Maximum Speed 1186 km/h with vertical/short take off and Landing (VSTOL),Range 418km,Armament of Sidewinder Martel/Harpoon missiles
  or bombs & two  30 mm Aden cannon.

  My model is of 801 SQN.FAA,Airfix paints were used on it # M22  RAF Blue/Gray.Hope you like it ;-)
