Hobby Boss 81725 1/48 Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star Fighter

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

The F-80 Shooting Star was the first jet fighter used operationally by the United States Army Air Forces, and saw extensive combat in Korea with the United States Air Force as the F-80. As one of the world's first successful turbojet-powered combat aircrafts, it helped usher in the "jet age" in the USAF and other air forces worldwide. One of its claims to fame is in training a new generation of pilots, especially in its closely-related T-33 Shooting Star trainer development.

This highly detailed kit includes decals and photo-etched parts. Completed model length measures 218.3mm, and has a wingspan of 246.6mm.
