SkyWorksToys Pilots--Special Offer!

Hey Everyone! We were going through out inventory of the new pilots, and found that we had a number of two of them that we thought we would run a special offer one. The first one is a modern pilot, with the visor up. The legs are a little longer than the current ones we offer, but it DOES fit in the...

Re: SkyWorksToys Pay As You Go Plan

Guys, On the shipping issue, each kit would carry its own charge, but it would be much less than an entire finished model. The small kits might have a shipping charge of $5.00 each, while a fully painted, and packed model runs about $50. In the end, it might cost a few more dollars, but not enough t...

Guys, Andrew is right, the A-10 model in 1/18 comes in close to 3' x 3'! I have seen the finished prototype, and it truly is a massive model, not to mention the coolest 1/18th model I have ever seen! As for price, it has NOT been set as there are many things that have to be taken into consideration ...

The total price for a set, with shipping will come to $15. If you are interested, just visit the SkyWorks site and leave us an email about wh...
