1/72 Airfix - Hawker P.1127

The 1/72 Airfix Hawker P.1127 kit represents the experimental V/STOL (Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft that served as the direct precursor to the iconic Harrier series. Developed in the early 1960s, the P.1127 was a groundbreaking British design that demonstrated the feasibility of jet-powered vertical flight, laying the foundation for future operational jump jets.

This kit captures the unique design of the P.1127 with its distinctive short fuselage, swivelling jet nozzles, and delta-like wings. Moulded in 1/72 scale with crisp panel lines and detailed parts, it includes options for different configurations such as undercarriage position and external stores. With accurate decals reflecting its prototype service, the P.1127 makes a fascinating addition for enthusiasts of British aviation innovation and experimental aircraft.
