Italeri THREE AV-8B Super Harrier / TWO Fujimi BAe AV-8A Harrier, 1/72, 137
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG-
Sold
SALE!! Includes all 5 kits in the two boxes shown. NOTE: Sold AS-IS and not inventoried. This collector was very meticulous and of his kits that I did inventory, 95% are complete. But on these kits he cut the sprue (trees) with the part numbers still attached to each number, so the parts are loose. Because of that, I have not inventoried these kits. NOTE: he built minor sub assemblies (cockpit tubs, wing halves, etc) to 'professional' quality. Again, these kits are sold not inventoried and AS IS hence the very low price.
