Got something to say about the hobby of model making?

Could anyone tell me if the kit in the link has the option of being a twin seater please?

I only ask as the box says Royal Air Force Harrier but has a USMC AV-8A, RAF GR.1 and RAF T.2/4 on the box art.

AFAIK it only makes an early GR1, and poor one at that
It has US Marine markings to make it an 'AV-8A', but not the correct parts

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

I know that the 1/24th Harrier I built a while back had this marking although that was a GR.3, maybe a Gr.1 was painted as well. Will look in my Harrier books.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

They did a GR.3 with the Lightning Flash
It is/was one of the markings options on the Airfix 1/24 Harrier
