Vintage gas powered airplane. U.S. NAVY F-15 EAGLE. Made by Cox, circa 1978 vintage. I see no missing parts - except for the back half of the cock pit label decal AND the red nose cone piece.

No other damage outside of the yellowing which is typical of the planes molded in white plastic. The other paper decal labels are complete. Nothing broken or repaired.
