      Out of stock
     
  Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA2618: AV-8B Harrier II Plus BuNo. 165421 VMA-214 MCAS Yuma March 2010. Production of only 500 pieces.

AV-8B 162731 was delivered to VMA-542 in 1986 and later assigned to VMA-331 “Bumble Bees” then in the 1990s went to VMAT-203. In January 2000 work was completed on the 31st remanufactured jet by using the wings, tail and a few other components from 162731 and joining them with a new fuselage, engine and other parts to create AV8 Harrier II + 165421. In February 2000 the new jet was delivered to VMA-214 “Black Sheep” of Pappy Boyington fame based at MCAS Yuma, Arizona.

The AV-8B II + is the second generation of Harriers. Using its VSTOL (Vertical and Short Take Off Landing) abilities the Harrier is capable of using almost any surface to attack and destroy air or ground targets. Armed with conventional or specific weapons the AV-8B II + can be used in offensive or defensive roles. Now with air-borne radar the AV-8B II + can deliver its ordnance day or night. The AV-8B II + can be air refueled allowing it to be deployed for extended periods.
