This is my 1/48 AV-8B by Monogram, you know I love this aircraft very much.  This aircraft is made by McDonnell-Douglas Company, one of America's leading aircraft manufacturers.  By the mid 1970s, McDonnell proposed a vastly improved version of the Harrier in a joint venture with UK, the originator of the Harrier design.

This Monogram model of the new Harrier represents a plane from U.S. Marine Corps VMA 331, known as the "Bumblebees".

It was designed to use large variety of ground attack weapons, including missiles, bombs & rockets, it can also fire air to air sidewinders in a dog fighting situation.  AV-8Bs maximum speed is 673 mph or Mach.93 at sea level.
I hope you like my model.
