What mark of Harrier? There's at least three versions available in 1/144 AFAIK, maybe more.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yes, quite a few and of varying qualities.

Revell Germany has the Gr.7 and the AV-8B with current mods; which are modifications on the same basic molds and quite nice kits

Dragon had a Gr.5 and a plain AV-8B; They had some serious shape issues.

Crown had a Gr.1/AV-8A and a Sea Harrier FRS.1; 70s era kits and showing their age.

Army of One

The Revell ones are good.....the GR7 is box H4017 and the AV8B Harrier 2 is box H4038....both shown as £3.99 in the Aviation Hobby Shop.....very friendly and quick service....I always use them.....quite happy to hand my beer tokens over to them....I don't have one to get rid of though......hope the info helps.....H
BODY,BODY....HEAD..!!!!

IF YER HIT, YER DEAD!!!!

The Crown GR1/AV-8A and their Sea Harrier FRS1 would appear to be the same mould modified, so the earlier GR1 is now only available on ebay etc.

Revell re-issued the Crown Sea Harrier FRS1 and the same mould later surfaced as a Minicraft kit. I have multiple kits of all three types and any wing fits any fuselage exactly.

AFAIK there isn't a GR3 with the laser nose available, nor any 2 seater variants.

Revell also reissued the Crown Gr.1/AV-8A in the mid 80s
