(Sorry about the grainy thumbnail, don't know how to resolve that...)
There aren't many F-80 Shooting stars on this website, and I aim to change that.

Minimum Part Count is 100.
Maximum Part Count is 1,200.
Go as detailed or basic as you want.

Rubric for Judging:

How close is it to the real thing? x/20.
Does it fly realistically as an aircraft of it's era would? x/20.
Are the armaments accurate to the era? x/20.
BONUS POINTS: How detailed is the aircraft? x/10
If you plan to have details that make your design qualify for bonus points, please state so in the comments.
There will be a Non-Bonus winner and a bonus winner.
Prizes are the same for both categories.

2nd: 7 Updoots and 1 spotlight (if possible)

    @CyberBot17 Yeah, as long as it's based off of the F-80 but not heavily modified.

    there's this plane called T-33 which is basically an F-80 but with a second seat, it is a trainer version and Paraguay(my goofy ahh country) had some of those from 1990 to 1998(yes, 1st gen fighter jet running in the 90's) does it still count if i make something like that?

    This would be interesting. Hmmm maybe i should try joining. Alright my aircraft is gonna have custom engine, and armament. I suck at making old custom cockpits so i may make one or not. And maybe i will try putting on decals
