That is me as well. I am going to see how this works out with the P-36 and then we will see about the Tony
OK I'm confused...just who is doing what?

OK . I love the building part of customizing. I realy do not like to paint. I am OK at painting but just don't like to do it. Jack is a builder as well but he likes to paint so .... We have joined together to produce the P-36 . I am making the kits and he is finishing them.

The Tony will be started back up as soon as I get finished playing around with the Stuka. If everything works well with the P-36 I will pull Jack in with me on the Tony. Again if things work out I will be building the Tony and Jack at Skyworks will be finishing the Tony.

It seems that we have a real good reponse with the P-36 there are a bunch of guys who want to pre order it. But we are not quite ready. I also have about 10 people who want to preorder the Tony but I do not want to take there money untill that project gets further along as well.
Hopefully this clears things up.

Yes that helps a lot.

Who does the skyworks website? Adminstration/editing wise?
Just a suggestion, grammar and spell checks on your site product descriptions will enhance your products, and present a professional package.

DH

I have websites and believe me, people notice these little things and could affect sales.

Jack put this one up himself http://www.skyworkstoys.com/

He is of Polish decent and types the way he talks. JACK IS PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND WILL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT IT . He is a old world type craftsman who is a pefectionist.I like to think that I am a new world craftman. Although I am not a perfectionist ( my wife disagrees with me on this and uses the anal adjuctive a lot) I try to get things as close as possible.

BTW I can't fault anybody on spelling . I am always asking Mamma Spike and Boy Spike how to spell things. But they are not always around.

Really tempted to buy the Skyworks P-51 B mod of MTS site. Looks like a real professional conversion job.

Another bonus is to buy a 21st P-51 , throw it out, keep the box and stuff the P-51 B in to look like factory.
