Small Scale Military Headquarters

skyworks has pinted for me a super tomcat.... but then just after the guy went ballistic

... I was also surprised that Pegasus did do a Me-163 Komet, I remember one of our members saying Pegasus felt there was already one being made (skyworks?) so they weren't going to do it. The two I wanted where the Me-163 Komet and the Focke-Wulf Ta-183 Huckebein which Pizzaguy made, both great ...

You just need to do a search...

... military producers like 21st Century Toys, Admiral, BlueBox and JSI along with some of the producers of conversions like that horror story behind Skyworks. It’s a real shame that some of those prototypes and “Future releases” never happened. I was poised and ready for the Phantom, Skyraider, P-51B/C ...

Looking for a set if anyone has ones they wouldn’t mind parting with.

Please no opinions on the nozzles, thanks.

... am too critical in my attention to detail but I have seen fly and worked on the real airplane. Many of our board members purchased and dealt with skyworks years ago and only a very small percentage ever received any real bang for their buck. It finally wound down with Jack disappearing with the ...

I remember Military Toy Shop was an exclusive dealer of Skyworks (aka Jack Plonka’s) products. MTS and their staff are good people, just the Skyworks stuff was a bit overrated and certainly overpriced. It is almost certain there are gaffes in the quality ...

Both are ID'd as Skyworks Toys. Have they returned?

Edit:
Never mind, read the description. These were done years ago when the Tomcat was first released. Whew, crisis averted.

That is a fantastic model, Nathan :D It looks so much better than the old Skyworks version and is hopefully an easier build... I had one of the Skyworks kits about 8-10 years ago and it was rather strange... Anyways, I just sent you a PM regarding a full build ...

Pizzaguy, that ME-163 is looking awesome! Light years ahead of the old crappy Skyworks kit. I’m planning to order one of these when you are ready

Well, it's been a few years since the Spotcats came out. I believe Merit bought a few of their large molds but the only A-10 that got close was the prototype Pickelhaube was briefly associated with before the Skyworks asshole stole it.

Your work on this model is impressive, Pizzaguy! It is far superior to the old Skyworks offering... When do you anticipate taking orders?

Im selling this kit for cheap to raise funds thanks to my great friend Paul!!

... i forgot so much. A russian 1/18 custom tank in wooden box. Custom 1/18 my Gabreski I did which is really nice. My hartmann 109, my Tex Hill P-40. Skyworks P-51B. Possibly only PH kits and the like maybe i part as people here appreciate these.

Can you repost these pics using another hosting site like Imgur or something else. Your photobucket links are now dead and I'd really like to see how this came out because I've got a similar project still waiting for some parts.

... to get one and try my hand at casting some resin copies of the earlier type parts to complete my desecrated 21st century D-9 conversion with the Skyworks cowling and rudder parts I already have on hand before assembling the new model.

... for a quality custom kit like yours. I'm debating whether or not I want to do a full build or attempt a kit... 6-7 years ago, I attempted a Skyworks ME-163 kit, however, like its maker, it had some severe flaws and I eventually gave up on it. I know my building skills and available tools ...

Didn't someone at the time track down his home address and try to confront him in person? Or was that 'Audie Murphy' that was tracked down? Or were those two, the same guys? All I remember is a lot of the trouble makers seemed to surface, cause months of problems, and disappear, at about the same ti...

Good to see that we are still talking about Skyworks.

Old, deep wounds never really heal, do they.

Never dealt with him, thanfully, but an AAA asshole.

Looks very nice! I once had a Hobby Master 1/48 scale model of that same plane. And yeah, 21c had a mixture of canopies on their FW190D9s... I'm not entirely sure why, but it may have had to do with some of their specific schemes having the newer "blown" canopy while some had the older design. Howev...

NICE

can you put a picture beside the MERIT JSI FW190 ?

I really like the agressive black nose look !

never seen this canopy before ????? it's even coolest ! WELL DONE !

Beautiful!

Here she is finally completed. I was actually done a couple weeks back but I noticed one of my Fw-190s had an early version canopy! This was Michalski's---I have 2 of them and one has the late blown canopy while the second has the early version. Has anyone else noticed that? Had to swap out canopies...

Shot of the resin copy of the Merit spinner and prop blades. These came out very well.

Looking forward to see this build. The kit looks good to me in the pictures.
