RESKIT RS72-0171 F-80 "SHOOTING STAR" (TYPE 1) WHEELS SET 1/72 – Resin Wheel Set for the F-80 Fighter Model

RESKIT RS72-0171 F-80 "SHOOTING STAR" (TYPE 1) WHEELS SET 1/72 is a high-quality, precisely crafted resin wheel set dedicated to Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star fighter models in the popular 1/72 scale. The product was developed by the renowned RES/KIT brand, known for its exceptional attention to detail and historical accuracy.

Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star was the first American jet fighter to enter standard service. It was widely used by the United States during the Cold War period, and its combat debut took place during the Korean War from 1950–1953, where it played a significant role in air combat and ground attack missions.

The RESKIT RS72-0171 set consists of precisely cast resin wheels that feature extremely realistic tread patterns, hub details, and unique technical characteristics specific to the "Type 1" version. The parts are made from top-quality resin, offering more detail than standard plastic wheels included in basic kits. Adding this set to your F-80 Shooting Star model is the perfect choice for modelers seeking realism and a professional finish for their miniatures.
