Monogram F-80C. Done!

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been working on this one for a while now and at last its finished. I had a kit of this aircraft when i was a boy and never got around to finishing it, so I thought I would have a go at it now…

1/48 Monogram Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star. Built as per the instructions with some help from Aeromaster decals. Feel free to tell me if you like it or not.

Very nice work! Where did the nose art markings come from?

Thank you! I don’t know why this airframe was marked with this particular nose art…It was simply my favourite option on the Aeromster decal sheet. I really liked it.[:)]

Nice work on the Shooting Star. I am very partial to the early jets.

Nice Paint job !!! Really a very nice job ! This will be a great collection item. I like the cat [:)]

I love it, Darren! I’m in an early jet stage right now, so great timing! I’d love to get my hands on that kit. Great decals, too. Something about cartoons on a warbird!

Very nice job on an old Monogram classic. I have one in my display case I did many moons ago when I got back into modeling.

Cheers…Jerry [C):-)]

Okay Darren! Nice work! Sylvester the Cat is a personal favorite!

You seemed to have kept things simple overall with great highlights!

Great work![tup]

The secret workshop continues to produce sweet builds. Real nice looking jet.

Great job, Thats one of my favorite jets, but I don’t like how they put the wing tanks on them like that. Great Job[:)]

Beautiful work Darren! I have heard this can be a challenging build, but you did a bang-up job on yours.
