The RESKIT RS48-0174 F-80/T-33 Shooting Star (Type 1) wheels set in 1/48 scale is a high-quality aftermarket detail set dedicated to aviation enthusiasts and modelers striving for maximum realism in their miniatures in this popular scale. The product is compatible with models from renowned manufacturers such as Bandai, Hasegawa, Hobby Boss, and Monogram, allowing for easy enhancement and upgrade of landing gear details in F-80 Shooting Star or T-33 Shooting Star jet models.

This set is produced by the renowned company RES/KIT, highly regarded in the modeling industry for the exceptional precision of its products and their faithful reproduction of historic originals. The wheels are made from high-quality cast resin, providing sharp details, an accurate tread texture, and clearly defined wheel hubs not achievable in standard plastic kits.

The F-80 Shooting Star and T-33 aircraft were widely used by the United States Air Force and many allied nations. The F-80, the first USAF jet fighter to see combat, debuted at the end of World War II and was widely employed, particularly during the Korean War (1945–1958). The T-33, developed from the F-80, served as a primary trainer during the Cold War period and was operated globally until the end of the 20th century.

The offered RESKIT set allows you to significantly increase the realism of your model, emphasizing the unique landing gear details that contributed to the characteristic appearance of aircraft from the postwar and Cold War periods. The set includes a complete set of Type 1 resin wheels, designed to replace the factory plastic parts.
