Kinetic 48162 1/48 Harrier T - QinetiQ

Model Aircraft Kit

The Kinetic 1/48 Harrier T - QinetiQ model aircraft kit captures a unique and highly specialized version of the legendary vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) jet. Featuring finely engraved panel lines, a detailed two-seat cockpit, accurate Harrier airframe features, and carefully reproduced landing gear and external details, this kit provides an impressive representation of a rare aircraft configuration.

Following decades of service as one of the worlds most recognizable V/STOL combat aircraft, Harrier trainers continued to serve in advanced testing and evaluation roles after their frontline military careers. The QinetiQ Harrier T was operated as a research and development platform, supporting flight trials, technology evaluation, and aerospace testing at facilities such as Boscombe Down in the United Kingdom. The Harrier family revolutionized military aviation by demonstrating practical vertical and short takeoff capabilities, influencing generations of aircraft design and leading to future V/STOL programs.
