Print Scale 72-168 Decal 1:72 Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star. The complete set 1.5 leaf

Print Scale 72-168 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/72 scale models of the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star. This set provides aircraft-specific markings and a selection of technical stencils to help reproduce identifiable USAF subjects from early Cold War service.

The F-80 was among the first operational U.S. jet fighters and remained in use through the late 1940s and early 1950s, including overseas deployments. The options in this sheet focus on unit identifiers, serials, and distinctive trim or nose art elements presented as documented aircraft finishes.

For modelers, the sheet is suitable for most 1/72 F-80 kits listed as universal, with the best results achieved when matching your kit’s details to the chosen aircraft version. Fine stenciling and multi-part markings make this set more comfortable for experienced builders. Scale: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).
