Print Scale 48-286 Decal Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star Part 7 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-286 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1/48 scale plastic model kits of the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star (Part 7).

The F-80 Shooting Star was an early-generation jet fighter used by the United States Air Force in the early 1950s. Command aircraft and unit presentation markings often combined prominent identifiers with distinctive tail and fuselage striping, which makes this subject well-suited to a clean, high-contrast finish.

For modelers, this set is useful when you want a single, clearly defined aircraft identity with matching codes and insignia plus a supporting stencil selection. The decals are listed as universal and can be applied to any compatible 1/48 Lockheed F-80 kit. Due to the long stripes and multiple small stencils, careful alignment and staged application are typically recommended.
