Harriers On Station For The British In Team Yankee
November 14, 2016 by stvitusdancern
We knew it was coming, but they have arrived and what is more British than the Hawker-Siddley Harrier VTOL Aircraft. For British Team Yankee players, your team is even stronger.
Now the Brits have some fast moving close air support and add this to the Lynx helicopter you have a pretty wicked hunter-killer team.
This iteration of the famed aircraft is armed with an electrically-powered 30mm Aden 5-chamber revolver cannon and BL-755 anti-tank cluster bombs, which should create a tactical nightmare for the enemy.
In this kit, you get two resin aircraft with some metal parts. There are also some Rare-Earth magnets with flight stands and a decal sheet.
If you are getting into the British force for Team Yankee, you will definitely want to pick some of these up.
Which army are you playing?

@warzan – look! look! look! 🙂
Pure class……..!
Very nice.
Bloody awesome. Think Brits will be my second TY faction after I have finished with the Soviets!
That’s me shoved a bit closer to the yawning chasm marked “chuck loads of money at Team Yankee”.
Ooh MkI Harrier will they have the MkIII? which has the longer winglets with more hard points.
These are GR3s …
But very nice indeed, I reckon the fir of the nose might be a bit of a job to do to keep the joint smooth
correct its the MkVIIIs on that got the extra weapon mounts.
Sooo nice, my wallet is being saved by no other players showing an interest, but Brits really are getting some great kit.
It’s been many a long year since I was obsessed with these guys but from memoy there were minimal differences to the GR3 and the FRS1 excecpt for the Blue Fox radar in the Sea Harrier. Sooooo…..if one wanted to do a South Atlantic type game I suspect a bit of Greenstuff would do the trick nicely me thinks?
Sea Harriers had a much higher cockpit for better pilot visibility
That’s it. I knew there was something in the fuselage that had been changed significantly. Not so easy to do that with greenstuff.
The RAF Harrier went on the long trip south alongside its RN counterpart so the TY model would fit nicely in that scenario
Indeed they did, all squeezed into Hermes. It wouldn’t be too hard to do a south Atlantic scenario. You’d only need a few bits from other manufacturers.
