F-80 Shooting Star – Classic Post-War Aviation

The F-80 Shooting Star was the first jet fighter of the United States Air Force, introduced at the end of World War II, but it played its main role just after the war and during the Korean War (years 1945–1950s, Cold War era). These aircraft featured a distinctive classic tricycle landing gear and were widely used for both combat and training purposes.

The Type 3 wheels, like those offered in this RESKIT RS48-0173 set, were standard equipment for later variants and production builds of the F-80.

Why choose RESKIT RS48-0173?

This set significantly increases the realism of model representation – finely recreated tread details and precisely rendered wheel rims accurately capture the character of the original. The meticulous craftsmanship will impress experienced modelers seeking authenticity, while the straightforward construction allows even less advanced hobbyists to easily replace parts.

Especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who value the highest level of detail and historical accuracy. Assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5 – the product does not require advanced modeling skills, yet will make your model stand out on a diorama base or in a collection display.
