About product

Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star 1:48 — Hobby Boss

An injection-molded plastic kit of the early American jet fighter Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. The model has a detailed cockpit and landing gear bays, a clear glazing part and photo-etched seat belts. Decals for two machines and a color painting guide are enclosed.

The real subject

The Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star was the first American jet fighter used in regular operational service. It was marked by a clean straight wing and a cigar-shaped fuselage with side air intakes, the typical look of the early jets. The F-80C version made its mark in the Korean War, where the aircraft also took part in the first jet-versus-jet combats in history.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife and glue them with liquid cement for plastic, and the fine photo-etched belts with cyanoacrylate. A natural metal finish comes out best on a smooth base — careful sanding and polishing before the metal paint pays off. Mask the canopy glazing before spraying.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of the beginnings of jet aviation
  • For lovers of Korean War aircraft
  • For collectors of American fighters in 1:48 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
