This is a brand new 1/72 scale diecast model of the British Aerospace Sea Harrier FA.2 Aircraft with Sea Eagle Missiles "ZH804, Fairford" (2002) from the British Royal Navy "Air Power Series" by Hobby Master. The model comes in a brand new box, featuring a detailed exterior, true-to-scale detail, includes a pilot figure, has an opening canopy, includes a display stand, and detachable ordnance loads. Constructed from diecast metal and plastic for durability and a heavy, realistic feel, it measures approximately 7.75 inches in length with a 4.25-inch wingspan. The Sea Harrier FA.2 ZH804, a variant of the Harrier GR5 developed for the Royal Navy, was one of the most versatile aircraft in the Fleet Air Arm during its time. Introduced in the 1990s, it was a key part of Britain’s maritime defense, capable of vertical/short take-off and landing (V/STOL) operations, featuring enhanced avionics, radar, and the ability to carry advanced weaponry, including Sea Eagle anti-ship missiles for standoff targeting. In 2002, ZH804 participated in numerous operations with the Royal Navy’s aircraft carrier fleet, providing air support to naval task forces and patrolling vital sea lanes. It played a pivotal role in maintaining air superiority in hostile environments, contributing to peacekeeping, humanitarian missions, and supporting carrier battle groups during Operation TELIC, the British contribution to the Iraq War. Regularly stationed aboard HMS Invincible and HMS Illustrious, the aircraft ensured that the Royal Navy could project force where needed. This 1:72 scale model captures the intricate detailing, including the Sea Eagle missiles, and reflects the powerful and versatile nature of the Sea Harrier FA.2, making it an essential piece for aviation enthusiasts and collectors celebrating the legacy of the Royal Navy’s iconic aircraft.
