Eduard 48810 F-80 landing flaps HOBBY BOSS 1/48 – Photo-etched Parts for Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star Flaps (1:48)

This product is aimed at aircraft modelers seeking the highest level of detail – the Eduard 48810 F-80 landing flaps set is dedicated to the HOBBY BOSS plastic model in 1:48 scale. This high-quality set of photo-etched metal parts allows for a realistic reproduction of the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star’s landing flaps, providing a level of detail unattainable by other techniques. The manufacturer – the renowned Czech company Eduard – guarantees precision engineering and a perfect fit with the base model components.

The Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star is an American jet fighter from the end of World War II and the early Cold War era. Due to the dynamic development of aviation, the F-80 was widely used by the United States Air Force (USAF) during the Korean War as both a fighter and close air support aircraft (1950–1953). The F-80 represents a new era in American military aviation – it was the first American jet used in combat by the USAF.

The Eduard 48810 set provides modelers with photo-etched metal details, which successfully replace the plastic parts included in the HOBBY BOSS kit. Precisely reproduced ribs and engravings allow you to recreate the realistic appearance of the deployed F-80 flaps, significantly enhancing the realism of the finished model. The components are made from high-quality stainless steel – the photo-etched fret ensures easy handling and dimensional stability during assembly and painting.
