potez Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) I need a little help. I'm looking for a riveting plan for Lockheed F-80 and have found nothing. Does anyone knows where I could found them? Thakns in advance for any help 😄 Edited December 3, 2020 by potez Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabrejet Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I've seen this type of request before: there is no such thing as a "riveting plan". You will find fastener locations on manufacturer's drawings but I've never seen them made up into anything that encompasses the whole aircraft. So I'm not surprised you haven't found anything. Or do you just need F-80 plans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I've looked for drawings, too, in anticipation of building the Sword kit at some point. I can't find drawings that would meet my needs, so I'd suggest studying photos of walkarounds like this one to determine where rivets are located. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichB63 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Hi Potez, The best 1:48 Shooting Star build I've seen is this one by Tony Bell. It was featured in the December 2007 issue of Tamiya Model Magazine International. In the article, he mentions a set of F-80 drawings from a 1973 KokuFan publication that were referenced for the rivet pattern. I know this information is of limited value. But perhaps with a little detective work (and luck) you might locate those plans. Or maybe you could track down Tony via email or other social media. I know that he was active on Hyperscale at one point. Rich Edited December 7, 2020 by RichB63 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefferson Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Potez You can find at least some F-80 riveting in official documents TO 1F-80A3 Structural repair instructuions and AN 01-75FJA-4 Parts catalogue for this plane. They can be downloaded from avialogs website or I can send you. My e-mail is mlnjvtc@gmail.com. Milan Jevtic, Belgrade, Serbia Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Milan Jevtic, Belgrade, Serbia Thank you very much for hour help I have an account on avialogs 🙂 On the other hand I have found what I was looking for. An old issue of monthly MPM Novinky no 45 from 2009 contains a set of F-80 and RF-80 3 view drawings with detailed riveting lines on pages 26-27 in 1:72 scale. Merry Christmas and thank you all for your kind help! Edited December 24, 2020 by potez Quote Link to post Share on other sites
