New Skyworks Toys Spitfire Mark XIV
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 7:31 pm
I was visiting the Military Toyshop website (www.Militarytoyshop.com) and noticed something new in the Skyworks Toys section. Jack Plonka plans to produce several variants of the Griffon-engined Spitfire Mark XIV, including Johnnie Johnson's clipped-wing Mark XIVe. A call to Isaiah Jones at Military Toyshop today confirmed this. Isaiah said these Spits will be scratch-built. I didn't ask about prices, but I presume they'll be around $500 or so. Isaiah reiterated what he told me this past summer-if twenty or thirty of us gave Jack Plonka a firm preorder for this or any other Skyworks Toys offering, Jack could lower the price considerably. Food for thought! Donnieboy Over and Out!
