RESKIT RS72-0173 F-80 "SHOOTING STAR" (TYPE 3) WHEELS SET 1/72 – Resin Wheel Set for the F-80 model in 1/72 scale

RESKIT RS72-0173 is a dedicated resin wheel set for the American Lockheed F-80 "Shooting Star" Type 3 jet fighter in the popular 1/72 scale. This set is designed for modelers seeking the highest level of detail reproduction in their miniatures. Each component of the set is made of high-quality resin, allowing for faithful representation of even the smallest details of the original aircraft wheels.

The Lockheed F-80 "Shooting Star" was the first production jet fighter in the USA, primarily used by the United States Air Force in the final period of World War II and during the Korean War (1945–1954, postwar period and Korean conflict). This aircraft played a key role in early air operations of the Korean War, where it faced, among others, Soviet MiG-15 fighters.

The RES/KIT RS72-0173 upgrade set includes a full set of realistically reproduced wheels (Type 3), which far surpass the standard plastic parts provided in basic kits in terms of detail. Thanks to durable resin, models receive not only excellent tread texture and technical details, but also allow for precise painting and easy assembly. This product is an excellent choice for enriching both finished models and historical dioramas from the transition period between the 1940s and 1950s.
