The Hobby Boss 1/48 F-80A Shooting Star portrays one of the first jet fighters brought into service by the United States Air Force. The scale kit reflects the jet age transition with faithful surface detail and the slim profile that characterised early jet aircraft.
The F-80A holds significance as an early operational jet, making it an attractive subject for historians and collectors who enjoy authentic period builds. The kit provides a platform to recreate the classic lines and to explore markings used in early postwar squadrons.
Suitable for a range of abilities, this kit contains well moulded parts that accurately represent the airframe. Careful test-fitting and seam work around the fuselage and wings will yield the best results. The included decal options and paint pointers let builders match historical liveries or craft a personalised scheme.
