The Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star was the first jet fighter used operationally by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). Designed and built by Lockheed in 1943 and delivered just 143 days from the start of the design process, production models were flying, and two pre-production models did see very limited service in Italy just before the end of World War II. Designed with straight wings, the type saw extensive combat in Korea with the United States Air Force (USAF) as the F-80.
notes
This is my entry for the Fighter Jet Challenge. It is armed with the exact same weapons as the real plane, with 6 guns, 2 bombs and 8 rockets. I hope you like it! Blueprinted and built by FireFast212.

@MotorManiac ok but will you give upvotes or not
@MotorManiac also if you really think a build of mine is cool, you can spotlight it.

@FireFast212
I think you win. Nobody else has entered, except for Parehare, and this wins over that.
@RedIndustries thanks! i actually used blueprints for 90% of the fuselage (that is how its supposed to look like.). also the armament is the exact same as the original plane. but thanks for the kind words!
Cool! I like it! I suggest looking at some blueprints of this aircraft, to make the fuselage look closer to the real one, and do more research on gun positions, and armament. I gotta say this is pretty cool :D
