My only critique is that you may consider painting the exhaust cones on Skywarp purple as well per the following picture:
Skywarp - Toy Gallery - Photo #8
Otherwise, great start! I'm pretty anxious to get around to this too, but I plan to get SDCC Starscream as reference and want to wait in hopes Cobrastickers gets around to Thundercracker and Skywarp so I can see how best to coordinate paint and decals. I'm thinking I might go ahead and paint Skywarp's nose purple as it was in some versions of the toy.
I've already got the Sky Striker I'm going to customize into Thundercracker, and I'm pairing him with Destro. A Skywarp will go with Baroness. Too bad there is no 1:18 scale Transformers Shockwave for either of them.

Doesn't anybody have an imagination anymore? Hasbro has to do it first? Nobody can think of it on their own?
So am I the only one that thought of painting a Skystriker as Darkwing, a Ghoststriker as Dreadwind, a Matchbox Veritech as Jetfire, a Dragonfly as Whirl & a Vamp II as Roadbuster???
I don't think it's really a question of imagination. Most people who went out of their way to get a vintage Sky Striker wanted a Sky Striker, not Starscream. Now we not only have relatively easy access to Sky Strikers, but with the fact that we have Starscream now, Thundercracker and Skywarp naturally follow.
