  Harrier, Hawker/BAe
Harrier roles include close air support, reconnaissance, fleet air defence and maritime attack and the aircraft has brought a completely new flexibility to offensive air operations on land and at sea.
Harrier II Plus is the latest variant of the Harrier, developed as a radar equipped multi-role fighter/ground attack aircraft capable of all weather, day and night operations.
Sea Harrier FA2 is a modified and updated version of the Royal Navy's Sea Harrier FRS1 fighter, reconnaissance and strike aircraft, equipped with the Blue Vixen multi-mode, pulse doppler radar and AMRAAM.

  Naval Technology - Harrier FA2 - VSTOL Fleet Defence Fighter Aircraft
The BAE Systems FA2 Sea Harrier fighter aircraft, which is in service with the British Royal Navy and the Indian Navy, provides air defence for the carrier fleet, particularly against low-flying attack aircraft armed with long-range air-to-surface missiles.
"The FA2 Sea Harrier is equipped with the Raytheon AIM-120A AMRAAM air-to-air missile."
The Sea Harrier can carry the MBDA ALARM anti-radiation missile, which can be deployed in direct attack mode, against a radar target, or in loiter mode, where the missile is launched in the vicinity of the threat and waits for the hostile radar to emit.

 Target Lock: Sea Harrier : Origins
The RAF Harrier force was supposed to provide fleet air defence when the RN's carriers were retired.
While the Sea Harrier was still in development, Lt Cdr Doug Taylor RN came up with the idea of the "ski jump", which was an upward-curving ramp at the end of the STO run which imparted a positive vertical velocity to the aircraft.
In 1982 the Sea Harrier received a baptism of fire, when British forces were sent to retake the Falkland Islands from Argentine invaders.

 1/24 Airfix BAe Sea Harrier FRS-1 by Karl W Branson
The Harrier design started life as the P1127, this became the Hawker Siddeley Kestrel FGA Mk1; further development lead to the initial Harrier GR.1.
The Sea Harrier was to be a derivative of the RAF Harrier GR3 – it would have a new raised cockpit and a new design of canopy; also, it would be fitted with the Ferranti ‘Blue Fox’ Radar and was kitted out to carry the Sidewinder AAM.
The details on the oldest parts of the original Harrier are a little soft and the fuselage contains hundreds of rivets; the later upgrade parts are much better and have no rivets, there is also a better cockpit tub and seat and a new canopy.

 Sea Harrier FRS.1a by Ingo Degenhardt (Airfix + Flightpath 1/48)
All this adds up to a rather high budget for this Harrier but there is still enough work and room for personal initiative.
I cut away the protruding White on as many decals as possible and some markings are even sprayed on such as the red surroundings of the fire accesses (have to be drilled out) in the wing roots.
A lot of work for this Sea Harrier all in all and prospects for the Airfix FA2 are similar, although the new fuselage has engraved panel lines and the flaps and ailerons have the right length (Airfix confused the length of these on the FRS.1 – I filled them with superglue and rescribed)
