Model Kits of the P-80 / T-33 Shooting Star was built in two versions where the P-80 was a single seat fighter jet and the T-33 was used as a trainer.  Technology soon out grew the P-80 as newer and faster fighter jets hit the market but the T-33 Trainer version stayed around for a long time.  Many museums, like Bloomington, Illinois, Prairie Aviation Museum, has a T-33 where the P-80 Shooting Star is much more rarely seen in aircraft museums it is also many times referred to as the F-80 Shooting Star fighter jet.  This toy and hobby shop has several different collectable versions of these model planes, diecast model planes, plastic model planes, wood model planes, and mahogany airplane models.
