RBC P80 90mm Kit

The Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star was the first jet fighter used operationally by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II.  Designed and built by Lockheed in 1943 and delivered just 143 days from the start of the design process, production models were flying, and two pre-production models did see very limited service in Italy just before the end of World War II. Designed with straight wings, the type saw extensive combat in Korea with the United States Air Force (USAF) as the F-80.

This easy to build kit will create a great looking jet that is easy to repair.  The RBC kit features construction of balsa, plywood and abs plastic to make an easy to build/repair kit that has great flying characteristics. The kit contains all parts cnc cut including all wood to finish the P80 Shooting Star.  A large clear cad drawing is also included and also a vacuum formed canopy and nose cone. Features a large top hatch for easy access to the battery and receiver area.
