SPACEBALLS

THE CAR

Eagle 5 is the 1986 Winnebago Chieftain 33 that heroes Lone Starr and Barf travel in, using it as a flying spacecraft (with space engines and wings attached). They use it to rescue Princess Vespa.

Being the largest Winnebago produced in the mid-80s, filmmaker Mel Brooks used a full sized vehicle for some shots but relied on a 1/12 scale resin model for the majority of the filming.

THE ART
