NEW Hasegawa 1/72 AV-8A HARRIER USMC VSTOL Attack Aircraft

The Hawker Siddeley Harrier is a British jet-powered attack aircraft designed and produced by the British aerospace company Hawker Siddeley. It was the first operational ground attack and reconnaissance aircraft with vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) capabilities and the only truly successful V/STOL design of its era. During the 1970s, the United States opted to procure the aircraft as the AV-8A; it was operated by the US Marine Corps (USMC). The Marine Corps accepted its first AV-8A on 6 January 1971, at Dunsfold Aerodrome, England and began testing it at Naval Air Station Patuxent River on 26 January. The AV-8A entered service with the Marine Corps in 1971, replacing other aircraft in the Marines\' attack squadrons. Shipboard operating feasibility studies were conducted aboard the amphibious assault ship, USS Guam (LPH-9), which was converted into the Interim Sea Control Ship and operated as such between 1971 and 1973
