Harrier
Join us on Revell's Jump Jet journey! Follow as we bring you every update on the new-tool Hawker Siddeley Harrier from concept to launch.
A New Tool Harrier in 32nd Scale. This is your front-row seat for the entire development.
On Tuesday 19 May 2026, Revell announced an all-new 1:32 scale Hawker Siddeley Harrier — its first newly tooled large-scale Harrier in more than 50 years, following the recent New Tool Gloster Meteor from the Revell team.
This page is the home of Jadlam's Project Harrier coverage. Every official Revell blog and video, plus our own reference features, will appear in the timeline below.
The aircraft, in brief
The Hawker Siddeley Harrier was conceived in October 1957 at Hawker Aircraft Kingston by the team led by Sir Sydney Camm, paired with Stanley Hooker's engineers at Bristol working on the revolutionary Pegasus engine. The Harrier was the world's first operational V/STOL combat jet. In RAF service the GR.1 and GR.3 flew Cold War dispersed operations from forest clearings in West Germany. The Royal Navy's Sea Harrier rewrote the rulebook in the South Atlantic in 1982: more than twenty Argentine aircraft shot down during the Falklands campaign, with no Sea Harrier lost to air-to-air combat.
This is the first-generation Hawker Siddeley Harrier — GR.1, GR.3, T.4, Sea Harrier. It is not the BAe/McDonnell Douglas Harrier II (GR.5/7/9, AV-8B), which is a different aircraft with a larger composite wing and raised cockpit. Same name. Different machine.
Why this kit matters
Revell's existing 1/32 Harrier — kit 05690 — is decades-old tooling. Airfix released a 1/24 Harrier GR.1 a few years ago, but that's a different scale and a different price tier. In 1/32, there has not been a truly modern Harrier kit. Project Harrier changes that. Register your interest below to get every update by email.

Frequently asked
Project Harrier is a completely new tooling. The existing 05690 dates back decades and will likely be discontinued once the new kit is in full production, though Revell has not formally confirmed that yet.
No. Project Harrier is the first-generation Hawker Siddeley Harrier — GR.1, GR.3, T.2/T.4 trainers, and the Sea Harrier. The Harrier II is a separate, later aircraft with a larger composite wing and raised cockpit.
Yes — Revell have confirmed in Blog 01 that they're tooling a separate engine and display trolley to be included with the kit. The engine is designed for external display (not to fit inside the fuselage, to avoid scaling compromises), with visible parts like the intake fan blades supplied separately for the airframe.
Pre-orders will open closer to release, expected mid-to-late 2027. Register your interest above and we'll let you know the moment ordering opens.
Revell has not announced pricing. Based on their existing 1/32 large-scale kits (Tornado at around £74, Eurofighter at around £85), we'd estimate £60–£90.
Revell has confirmed they're designing with the GR.3 as the core (Blog 01), which suggests the GR.3 may lead the family — but release order is still TBC.
Revell have committed to monthly development updates via blogs and YouTube videos, with occasional extras on social media and at model shows. The next update is expected in early June 2026.
