The RESKIT RS48-0171 F-80 Shooting Star (Type 1) wheels set 1/48 is a high-quality resin wheel set designed for 1:48 scale models of the F-80 Shooting Star aircraft. This product by the renowned Ukrainian brand RES/KIT has been created for modelers who wish to enhance the level of detail in their project.

The F-80 was widely used by the United States and its allies throughout the post-war 1940s and 1950s, serving as a bridge between piston-engine and jet aviation generations.
