11bee Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Very nice job. Good to see some Korean War aircraft being built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorvi Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Nice work I bauilt a few of these. The Monogram kit is STILL the definitive Shooting Star in this scale. We wont talk about the abomination from Hobbyboss. BUT perhaps there is hope from Great Wall...Their T-33 was very nice and they did have F-80 on the sprue parts IF they tooled up an F-80 that wold be nice to have too!!

trietmcam Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Oh wow! This is incredible. The decals looked like they were painted on, no edges visible. The metal look is fantastic. Regards Triet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Underdog Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 John, Amazing effort on the F-80, and the model is 43 years old. Looks like it was recently built. Excellent paint and decals... job well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
