Powered by the Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine with vectored thrust, the Sea Harrier demonstrated remarkable flexibility and combat effectiveness. It achieved worldwide recognition during the 1982 Falklands War, where Royal Navy pilots secured air superiority with an outstanding combat record against Argentine aircraft. The Sea Harrier continued serving with the Fleet Air Arm until it was eventually replaced by the more advanced FA.2 and later the F-35B Lightning II. Glue and paints are sold separately.
