Eagle Squadron!
By Barney Dunlevy
Here is the final batch of pictures of the 5 Christen Eagles built for Frank Christensen, designer of the 1/1 Eagle. Four of the aircraft, Team Eagles single seat aircraft and Pete Groves Eagle II were built OOB with nothing else required. The fifth aircraft N2FC was ready for final assembly when I found out that Frank wanted a special paint scheme, that of the latter version of his aircraft.
Well it was strip and re-paint, then using a side view of the aircraft, scan the picture and clean up the results using Adobe Photo Business Edition. This was then printed on Bare Metal Inkjet decal paper with very poor results. After a week or more trying every setting available to me, I finally achieved a decent print and the results, although not as good as the other four aircraft were acceptable.
N2FC is the oddball darker scheme in the group "family" photo. Hope that this will be satisfactory.
All models are Airshow Models products. Also, visit Barney's Air Force!
