Today, Revell announced “Project Harrier” which will see the development of a new tool “state-of-the-art” Hawker Siddeley Harrier model kit in 1/32 scale.
As a new twist, Revell will be bringing modelers along on the development journey with a behind-the-scenes look at the process via blog posts, monthly YouTube updates, etc. Work began in late March with setup, including aligning scans and creating the cross-sectional planes that the designer uses to create the “skeleton” model. In addition to the aircraft itself, the company will be developing a separate engine and display trolley for inclusion with the kit.
To date, the development team has gathered data from Harriers based at RAF Wittering Heritage Centre and Gatwick Aviation Museum. Release is planned for Autumn 2027.
