{"product_id":"4967834014497","title":"1\/72 AV-8B Harrier II","description":"■Product Description\u003cbr\u003e\r\n The Harrier, which appeared in the early 1960s as the world's first practical V\/STOL attack aircraft, attracted the attention of the U.S. Marine Corps as an amphibious support fighter and was adopted under the designation AV-8A. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, operational problems due to insufficient payload and range were not easily resolved, and an improved version of the AV-8A was long desired. \u003cbr\u003eThe AV-8B, which appeared under these circumstances, was designed with significant capability improvements to meet the tactical requirements of the U.S. Marine Corps. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe main wings were enlarged, the cross-section became a supercritical airfoil, and LERX (leading edge extension) was added to the wing root to improve aerodynamics. Moreover, the weight was kept to a minimum by making extensive use of composite materials, and the auxiliary wheels under the wings were moved from the wingtips to the center of the wings, and two additional underwing hardpoints were added. \u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, the avionics were also significantly modernized. The nose was equipped with the ARBS (Angular Velocity Bombardment System), which was first put into practical use on the A-4M Skyhawk, dramatically improving the accuracy of weapon drop. In addition, a multi-purpose display and the HOTAS system (which allows various systems to be operated without taking hands off the control stick or throttle) were adopted, and the canopy was enlarged to provide a wider field of view and improve maneuverability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther improvements included improved air intakes and the adoption of zero-scarf nozzles in the forward exhaust nozzles to increase thrust efficiency. During VTOL, the newly added retractable forward fence and the enlarged conventional detachable strakes, along with these Lift Improvement Devices (LIDS), allowed for effective utilization of ground-refueled jet lift. \u003cbr\u003eThe aerial refueling system also features a retractable refueling probe. \u003cbr\u003eThe first operational deployment was to VMA-331 in 1985. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 《Data AV-8B HARRIER II》\u003cbr\u003eCrew: 1\u003cbr\u003eWingspan: 9.25m\u003cbr\u003eLength: 14.12m\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 3.56m\u003cbr\u003eEngine: Pegasus RR F-402-RR-408 x 1 (Thrust 10,795kg x 1)\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Takeoff Weight: 14,515kg (STOL)\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Speed: 1,080km\/h\u003cbr\u003eFirst Flight: September 6, 1978 (Prototype)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: Hasegawa\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: D19\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/72\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN：4967834014497\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"hasegawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46408396701854,"sku":"4967834014497","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7620\/6750\/files\/4967834014497.jpg?v=1768589401","url":"https:\/\/tsurumai-hobby.com\/products\/4967834014497","provider":"TSURUMAI HOBBY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
