Scale recreation by Hobby Boss 81724 - 1/48 RF-80A Shooting Star Fighter Model Kit

This 1/48 kit brings the RF-80A Shooting Star to the workbench with clear surface detail and period correct proportions. Hobby Boss models the classic nose intake and wing layout to aid realistic finishing.

Recon Role and Accuracy

The RF-80A served early jet reconnaissance duties and helped shape tactical thinking in the jet age. The kit captures the aircrafts main features, letting builders present an authentic mid century jet subject.

Workshop Notes and Finishing

Parts are laid out for logical assembly and are generally well matched, though careful cleanup yields the cleanest joins. Plan painting in stages and use the decal sheet for correct markings to achieve a polished display piece.
