The AV-8B Harrier II Plus is a vertical/short take-off and landing attack aircraft developed for the United States Marine Corps. It evolved from earlier Harrier designs and introduced improved avionics, radar capability, and weapon systems, allowing it to perform both close air support and reconnaissance roles.

The Harrier family is known for its ability to operate from short runways and amphibious assault ships, giving it a unique role in modern military aviation. The AV-8B variant remains one of the most recognised V/STOL aircraft, used in multiple operations since the late 20th century and continuing into modern service.

Build using paint and glue. Assemble fuselage, cockpit, wings, and undercarriage parts carefully. Apply decals for chosen markings and finish with paint for realistic panel contrast. Display on a stand or in a collection cabinet once complete.
