I built a single seater, F80 Shooting Star some years ago and really enjoyed the build, and the finished plane is one of my favourites.
So then, I picked up the trainer version not so long ago, with a bit of a plan on my mind.
Because I came across Tangmere museum back in the summer when I was out for a drive around with a map. Not enough time for a proper visit inside, but several Aircraft sitting outside and some being worked on in the hangers.
And look what was in the middle of it...
SO, gotta be worth having a go at this...
Here's the F80 got out for reference and motivation
Don't think I have ever had a real airframe for reference before.
Think I need another visit and a "walk around" session.
