The Specjal Hobby 32048 F-80C Shooting Star Over Korea model in an impressive 1/32 scale is a unique proposition for advanced aircraft modelers and collectors of military machines from the Korean conflict era. This plastic model kit allows for the recreation of the American Lockheed F-80C jet fighter, which played a significant role during the Korean War in the early 1950s.

The Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star was the first US Air Force jet fighter used in combat, becoming an icon of technological breakthrough in military aviation. The aircraft debuted at the end of World War II, but its greatest military career took place during the Korean War (1950–1953). The F-80C was intensively used by American air forces in air operations against North Korean and Chinese forces, providing a technological advantage in the early phase of the conflict before being replaced by the more modern F-86 Sabre fighters.

The presented model is made of high-quality injection-molded plastic, ensuring excellent reproduction of surface details – both panel lines and cockpit features. The set includes a complete decal sheet for marking historically accurate aircraft used on the Korean front, as well as Polish decals, which allow you to customize the model to your preferences. The model parts are precisely fitted, and the clear instruction manual leads you through the subsequent steps of assembly.
