These guys are real good, fast and reliable.

This is the P-51 I paid $700 to Slyworks for ...... 'nuff said. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_album/IMG_0529.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_album/IMG_0528.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_album/IMG_0527.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t22...

Not to get the Jack at Skyworks thing going but I just want to state an opinion which I had not heard voiced previously. I do not think that Jack was EVER the one doing these custom models. I am very sure it was his father and Jack was simply taking credit for it. Do you think that it a coincidence...

Hey, regardless of which link I hit, I'm only getting to my own Facebook home page, is there a permissions thing going on?

Patrick from Air Strike toys did the custom paints of Corsairs & HellCats. I got one of each and he did some nice work. John I picked up one of Patricks FAA Corsairs, and love it. Shame he isn't doing his fine work anymore. :( Love his work. The last time I'd talked with him he confirmed that he is...

WOW!! What timing for your topic! There's a great photo and discussion on the 25 pounder mounted on barges in Burma here.

Sprue Brothers has gotten some restocks on the spray bombs. I've just received some last week.

WOW! NICE!! Even if the folks with lots of 'stangs pass, it has a real good chance to bring in new folks. I like it.

Is SmallJoes the importer or are they part of the product development team?

Glad I could help.

Here's some, you might already have these though: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/tnt1/101-200/tnt159-Uniform-Marshman/00.shtm http://www.luftwaffeairfieldre-enactmentgroup.org.uk/Uniforms___Equipment/uniforms___equipment.html http://www.google.com/search?q=luftwaffe+ground+crew&hl=en&client=f...

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but what would the dimensions of a 1:18 B-25 be, I remember when they started advsrtising this, I kept thinking how would I hide that from the wife :lol: If built it sure would have been the focus point of alot of collections 8) http://www.aikensairplanes.com/21st%...

Even then, I think it might be only these guys.

Agreed, these will always be debated, that's why I like this kinda stuff. Here's a page with some artifacts and translations into english. On this page they state early zeros. http://modelingmadness.com/earlya6mcolors.htm Of course colors never survive reproduction and it's even worse taking into ac...

For quite awhile, starting early in WWII, there were reports of yellow or golden zeros. Remember the '50's Aurora Zero molded in "authentic yellow"? Over time no one believed that those reports had any basis in fact and the colour slowly became light gray in popular wisdom. Of course yellow and gold...

The Japanese used organic resins to protect the metal rather then as a camouflage. The great folks at j-aircraft have more at http://www.j-aircraft.com/research/amer ... ameiro.htm. It's also a great site for modelers as well as researchers.

I'll just say that I think it is wrong to post someones place of employment and address on a public board with the intent to bring "harm" to them. FWIW I don't believe this was done to bring "harm". I believe it was done to provide the info needed to pass on to the LE folks to start legal action, i...

Not only was it advertised as made by Skyworks, I bought it from him and he sent it to me. Yeah, it was on ebay, the bids went as high (no problem there, I've bid more on other stuff) as they did since he was using it as an example of the work he was well known for and proud of. He even included sho...

P.S.
Patrick from Airstrike mentioned to me that he was receiving alotta grief and threats from another "unnamed" customizer just before he went offline. With any luck that "unnamed" customizer was Slyworks and he might come back.

--just hoping

These are the only remaining photos of the $700 custom I'd received from Skyworks. The photos don't do it justice, it was much worse. I'd sent this to one of the members of the board looking for a basket case to work on. If you're here, where you able to do anything with it? I'm unable to reconcile ...

Looks like they still have 'em.

Obviously the A-10 and whatever else skyworks had in the works like the Typhoon is all gone. As PH mentioned all products off the MTS website. Not a good sign and more 1/18 disappointments. I suppose this means that AllGo/21c has lost their prototype for the A-10. I'm not sure how much would be lef...

After my experience with the P-51 custom he sent me (great rep + great photos = POC) he'd been off my list for some time now. It didn't help that MTS learned from his success and followed with their own PWP line that I also bought into *once*.

I'm in for the Stearman and tilly.

I just received their 1/48 Hawker Fury, quite nice, though I'm not sure about the difference in the wing incidence from the upper and lower wing. Still I'll snag the Portuguese repaint when it's released.
