Modelling the Harrier I and II by Glen Ashley, Osprey Publising, ISBN 1-84176-647-X, 82 pages, softbound. Reviewed By Michael Benolkin

In the first title in this new Modelling Series, Osprey has covered an interesting subject for a variety of modelers - the Harrier. The author does a great job of providing a general overview of the tools and materials he uses, then dives into builds of the 1/72 Airfix P.1127 Kestral (Harrier prototype), 1/48 Airfix Harrier GR.3, and finally the huge Airfix 1/24 Sea Harrier FRS.1.

The author completes his coverage with a look at all of the kits and accessories available for all marks of the Harrier, a list of recommended books and references on the subject, and even provides some representative (printed) color chips.

This book is a must-have for the aircraft modeler! You can purchase this and any of the Osprey series from Motorbooks or from your favorite bookstore.

My sincere thanks to Motorbooks for these review samples!
