The Eagle ships were quite awesome. Even as a kid, I loved that they were so utilitarian. And friend and I put together a model as kids. When were done it looked a bit plain even after painting it. So we added some serial numbers and ‘No step/Rescue’-type decals from a jet fighter model and some spare nose art and squadron markings from a B-17 kit. When it was done, it looked like something Chris Foss might have imagined.

I had one of those large 70s Eagles as a kid.

It didn’t survive the 80s.

They show up on Ebay regularly and I keep an alert. One day I’ll see about a replacement.
