Yes, yes, more campaign skins for Trigger, this time for the venerable Eagle.
The general idea for this was having Trigger fly an older-style aircraft at the onset of the war, until joining Strider squadron where it gets a long-overdue repaint and fixup - sort of like how the US was still using older F-15A's into the 2000s.
Mage and Spare variants were done up in the older "Compass Ghost Gray" scheme with full 70s-80s style high-visibility stencil data. To make it look like something that's been in service for a long time (and a little long in the tooth), it has some custom wear on the wings and an airbrake pulled from an F-15E (that wasn't repainted to match the rest of the jet). The Spare variant in particular has additional weathering and even more wear/dirt on the wings - there's also a large mismatched panel over the left engine.
Strider variant is done in the modern "Mod Eagle" scheme, this time with a brand new application. The pattern was based off of real-life F-15D 86-0182 - the lack of pattern on the right stabilator was a deliberate choice to match a picture of the real thing. To make it look like a fresher repaint, the weathering is toned down as well. Stencil data was also changed to match more current standards - there's less of them, and the large identifying markings/roundels are in contrasting low-vis.
