Thanks for the positive replies.
I think after the time and cost I spent doing the P-47D repaint the cost of Skyworks planes is somewhat justified but really most of the Skyworks planes are too expensive. The P-51B/C version is one of the cheapest planes they sell.

Hey Jackson, I have the piece you have mentioned. I decided to omit that as it looks like Gabreskis 28 kills was very much like your decal without the stencils. here is good pic of his kills emblem. The P-51 comes complete and is BBI P-51 redone with early version canopy. Well done conversion job by...

Jackson custom decals

I am doing a repaint of a P-47 1/18 and need some decals. I have tried to contact Jackson and no response. Does anybody know if he is still doing decal work or have heard from him?

I am really happy that we are getting a new 109E. The Galland version is nice but that is about it. The spinach version is impossible to find. The first version is blah and the eastern front is decent. I don't care for the night version so the Battle of Britain JG52 version is just what was needed.

Thay are Dragon WWII figures but with a white generic box. A Dragon website is saying these are knockoffs a...

Hello Donnieboy.
I have been thinking about ordering the Bader Hurricane so I went for another look and the price is $725.00. I thought this was cheaper before. This is getting a bit too much.

I really wish I didn't have to do things like work and provide for my family as I missed out on this one. I have been waiting for one a long time. I did order one from overseas on Ebay. I am glad I did as I won't have a chance the way rare planes are selling so fast.

I also had problems with the landing gear. I could not get the wings apart so I removed the landing gear and drilled a hole through the piece where the tabs are broken and than slid and glued a new piece in. Much better and stronger. I do not know about newer versions. I have the Red 3, Michaelski a...

I am looking for it I don't see the P-38. Possibly already sold?
I found it and yes that is a really high. As I mentioned before you can almost buy a skyworks plane for what people are selling 21st planes for.
gburch did you get the California Cutie that sold today?

Hello to everyone here. I am new to this forum but have been collecting 1/18 for years- mostly aircraft. I have more 1/6 so I hang out at 1/6 division for years. It seems with the economy you can get good deals but yesterday I was tracking a P-47 on ebay that went for over $200.00. It was the Peg O ...

I believe the box goes with the Ira Kepford Corsair. I wonder if the seller is aware of this strange plane in the wrong box.
