Re: Sky Works A-10

I for one have to agree with jack after starting my own business and seeing it from his point of view.

$800 at the least, but if see it going for $1000 if resin made, specially with skyworks, they are not cheap, there average price is round 700 for any plane. but i still see them selling alot of them.

THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN

This is a forum for the things that we all wished would have been. Like the 1/18 F-4 Phantom. Maybe one day if we all keep throwing pennies in the wishing well. skyworks you need this prototype! http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n206/sapphire_ice18/F-4_1.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n206/...

yeah skyworks has produced their own planes in the past, why would they bother teaming up with allgo toys anyways? profit sharing? you get more profit when you do it yourself.

We need a 1/18 A-10!! its coming!

Here's a thought what happened to all the Phoenix missiles they must have had in inventory once the Tomcat was decommissioned? At a $1m price tag each, as I'm led to believe....quite expensive to just scrap...or did they just have a free for all shoot out against F-4 drones by the end? MAYBE THATS ...
