Hobby Master 1/72 Harrier GR7 4 Sqn RAF Op Telic 2003 Aircraft Model (HA2601)


A premium quality model of the BAE Harrier II GR7 ZG859/91, RAF No. 4 Squadron Kuwait, Spring 2003, "Operation Telic" Superb detailing in 1/72 scale, with excellently defined pad applied markings. A full selection of weaponry is supplied so that the the model may be displayed fully loaded. Crew figures and a display stand are included and display with wheels up or down is optional. There is minimal use of plastic and we think this is one of the best ever replicas of the Harrier in an operational role.
The GR.7 series is part of the second generation of Harriers and replaced the older GR.3. This variant is quite similar to the American designed AV-8B but is built under license and equipped with RAF specific navigation and defense systems and added under-wing pylons. The GR.7 is capable of carrying twice the load of the GR.3 or the same load twice as far. The GR.7 first flew in 1989 and entered service in 1990. Of the 96 GR.7 Harriers belonging to the RAF 62 originally were GR.5s that were upgraded to GR.7s. RAF No. 4 Squadron was formed in 1912 as part of the Royal Flying Corps. In the spring of 2003 they were sent as part of a 30 Harrier pool to take part in Operation Telic, the British name for Iraqi Freedom. They were stationed at Ahmed al Jaber Air Base and were tasked with close air support and reconnaissance duties. Another role the Harriers were given was the destruction of Iraqi mobile Scud launchers.
