In all seriousness, looking good. Should fit on a modern Skystriker as well, right?

When and where will these be available, and will they be available in black?

The problem is that the screw hole in the ME planes is about 3/100" or so smaller than the screw hole on the vintage planes. I will have to make a separate version with a thinner stud or else buyers will have a lot of sanding to do.

I need to rework the "open" version of the nozzle because it's actually a little too open, but after that they will be available on my Shapeways shop. The material I offer my items in is a nylon material that is always white, however there are tutorials available on using fabric dyes for nylon/synthetic fabrics to color this material. It also seems to accept acrylic paints just fine from the time I tried it. In either case, a warm water bath/rinse and a scrub with a toothbrush is advisable to remove un-sintered nylon powder prior to adding any color.

Why not make the part for the modern version, and then an adapter sleeve that can slide over the stud for the vintage?

The most reliable approach is to have two separate models but I'll give some more thought to methods of making the same item work in either plane. Maybe I could make the stud the smaller diameter and then add fins to it to make the larger diameter (like vintage backpack pegs' "plus sign" cross section). Then you just shave off the fins if you're going to use it on the ME version. Dunno. I'll roll it around a bit.

Ohhhh, I have some eye candy to show you guys later.
In the meantime, are you folks more likely to be upgrading/modding a vintage Skystriker, a modern-era version, or both, generally speaking? Does anyone have interest in upgraded/replacement seats for the vintage Skystriker, complete with backpack studs for the vintage figures to plug into? The new seats wouldn't have parachute attachment unless people REALLY want that, but the seat tops would have improved appearance for the ejector seat mechanism and the seat surface would have some decorative belt detail sculpted onto it. I'm hoping to do a 2-seater overhaul for the ME Skystriker and I am wondering if there is any point to adapting the seats as separate parts to use in the vintage model. Your thoughts?

Looking good!
For the pod, I'd suggest making it using the smaller peg, and warn the user that they may need to add a little bit of glue or putty or rubberbanding to make it fit the larger version of the shaft.
