Although mine wasn't much of a looker it was a favorite and very stable flyer. I don't recall having decals with mine either though.

Apparently Don Fent supplied the scans, so maybe his had the decal. I know most of the catalog shots I saw showed it like mine, other than mine has the payload and those didn't. I didn't notice until after I applied the Echo 1 decal on the payload. I can live with it. 
Seems like those catalogs were from later in the FSI run, so that likely has something to do with it.
