Airfix F-80C Shooting Star Ident


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm half way through building the 1974 boxing of the Airfix 1/72 F-80C Shooting Star. The kit offers two colour schemes the Saggin Dragon FT-650 option and an FT-873 option, no name or title given but the instructions claim it served with the USAF 36 FBS, 8 FBW in Korea during 1951, unfortunately I have searched the net extensively and can find no mention of this aircraft! I have tried the USAF registry, my usual port of call for colour schemes Wings Palette, a number of military aircraft photo sites and still no luck. Can anyone help me please with a photo or profile please????

oddly I can find photos of FT-872 and FT-876. If it helps the serial number on the decal sheet is 49-873, I have searched this registration number as well and still found no information, is it possible that this is a miss-ident?
