anyone have a bigger image of this Eagle tail art? Its from the 57th FIS, circa 1985-86.

trying to get a better image so i can dial the details in better. this request is after looking through two dozen personal books, and three days of looking at "ICelandic F-15" "dire wolf profiles" and "fenrir profiles" on google, to name a few searches

you all didnt think i'd have an easy request did you? :biggrin:

thank you for sharing, but thats the wrong era.  an eagle superimposed over Iceland came about aroun 1988, and lasted until they disbanded in 94. i have a decal sheet with that already

im looking for the very beginning of the 1st AF era, right after the FIS's stopped being part of ADTAC. sadly, the plastic kit modeller that has the Wing King done didnt do the wolfs head. its amazing when you think of the similar challenges that plastic kit modellers and modders of the skinning variety have...

Completely off-topic, but i found a funny 

"Into the evening sun..." 1:72 Lockheed F-94E Starfire, aircraft ‘FA 880/Bu. No. 56-0880 ’ of the 57th FIS ‘Black Knights’, US Air Forces Iceland, Keflavik AB, 1959 (Whif/Emhar kit conversion)

Notice CFTs. Which were very  rare to see. Mostly, only on Islandic Eagles indeed.

souli for the win!  thsecond two work if i double the image size (not too much detail loss), its about the same size even as the other inner tail logos already done (doing them 384x384, roughly 150% TW size)

thank you for the quick resoonse, faster than i anticipated. must focus on finishing bitburg eagles, then do the Black Knights.  as they really would have looked in RSR....:biggrin:
