TheRealMrEd Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Having just finished my conversion of an MPC (nee Airfix) P-80, into the first-flight configuration XP-80 Shooting Star, here are the promised pictures of the completed build. For those interested, the build thread is HERE And for comparison's sake, vs the P-80B: Thanks for looking, Ed 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wlad Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 And just like that, she's done. I thought I missed a bunch of updates, but Mr. Ed was working in secret 🙂. Looks good, and it's an interesting comparison with the production P-80. Cheers, Wlad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Curse you Ed! That's another one on my bucket list that you have beaten me to. Still this time you have paved the way. Keep up the good work John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Ed- looks like you have captured the essence of Lulu Belle very nicely- all that cutting and hacking and filling have paid off. Very nice one! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Wlad Thanks Wlad, before I started her, I didn't realize how different the XP-80 was from her off-spring... Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
