Reader of this forum ordered couple of exiting paint versions of F14 here is one without main decals which will give you guys chance to guess which one this is ,this time it is little easier than usual thanks to shark mouth and black tail ,it is worth to mention there is six different shades of gray paint ,so which squadron with which emblem?

yes you got it,but which one there are very specific differences ,I need to mention that customer ordered first red Grim Reapers which I was exiting to make and then he decided to go with this one and I agree perfect choice

Greetings:

I had wanted to do this a few weeks ago but haven't had the time. Here are a few of Jack's standard Jolly Roger repaint outside in better light other than my collection room which really overexposed the light.

Excuse my patio furiture, broom and hose as I was getting things out of storage when the pictures were taken

Standard gear has held up well so far. If anyone needs any more pictures, please just ask. Pilots are two standard PTE pilots.

Jack those are beautiful....Nice job!!!!!

Jack, those are awesome!!! No way we could have expected JSI to offer that kind of detail for $200 but, in hindsight, I think most of us would have gladly paid extra, up front, if we had known then what we know now!
Anyway, superb work by SkyWorks, as always...Maybe you should contract with some of these manufacturers to provide the landing gear!

That is so cool.....are you doing other F-14-B parts?

A nice easy quick fix for the engine faring.

Look just like real metal exhausts. Too bad this one doesn't come up sooner, or I may install and have more choices for repainting.

Hey Jack,
Any idea when we will see the metal landing gear start arriving at our doors? I put my preorder in at MTS on March 18 thinking they would be going out in April.
Just thought I'd get this thread back "on the front burner" again.
My Cat's dying for some legs.
Thanks,
Phil

You're the man! I'm so excited about the legs for my tomcat.
Thanks

Thanks for the clip, Jack. What's with the music? Waterfall? lol

I fixed the broken gears, so there is no need to send it back to you. I connected two parts with a plastic straw, so that it remains steady and still rotates.

Thank you for the video Jack.

That's what I call customer support.

Looking forward to recieving my new gear..

Hi everyone! My name is Tom, and I am one of the modelers at SkyWorksToys, and also double as the marketing manger. My goal is to review all of the posts and see if I can help anyone out. I will also monitor the email from the SkyWorksToys website and answer any questions that may come up. Jack is crazy busy right now with all of his new projects, so I am going to help out here. Just an update for everyone, the landing gear is here, and has shipped to the people who will get it to you! Jack is also working on a really cool F-14 engine cowling for the upgraded GE engines. It looks fantastic, and should be ready for shipment soon. If anyone has questions, just post them here, or stop by www.skyworkstoys.com and click on the "contact us" tab. I will get back to you as quick as I can.
