Ok Hisstankers check this out.
I found Ebay Auctions for some really nice looking F-14 Engine Exhaust Ports. This guy makes a REALLY REALLY nice F-14A Pratt and Whitney CLassic Exhaust Port Set and a VERY DECENT F-14D GE-F110 "turkey feather" Exhaust Port Set. Here's the links to the ebay auctions. I even might buy some of these.

Greetings, you honor me by making note of my work. But this "guy" does have a name, heh. Allow me to introduce myself, here I go by JoeJetWeapsSpec but on eBay I am 001Collector. At your service. I'm glad you like what I make. But I must ask... the GE F-110 engines are only "very decent" in your opinion? Well! I then am compelled to ask, please, what does one need to do for these engines to be "great" or even "bad ass"? Do let me know as I am always looking for new ideas to make my wares with even more quality. Thank you again for bringing attention to my auctions and I hope we can do business.
Oh, and if you like what you have seen now... wait til you see what I have coming up soon. Be well. |

Oh, and if you like what you have seen now... wait til you see what I have coming up soon. Be well. Ok so the reason why I said they are decent F-14D exhaust and not perfect was this.... and it isn't bad by any means..... They're cast in orange for a night boomer. cool idea BUT for a regular non night boomer jet that requires painting. Now that's not really an issue BUT why not cast in a simple off white resin for those who wanna use them for a regular skystriker? Will also bring your cost down for generic colored resins. OR you could offer them correctly painted, traditional 2 tone black and silver. In comparison to your F-14A nozzles... there is no comparison in terms of a wide range of use, the F-14A's (Pratt and Whitney) from the looks of your picture of them look wonderful and are painted correctly or very close to it from what I can see. The detailing on these is just awesome, VERY accurate, clean and symmetrical. Even though I love the GE Engines myself, this representation of the Pratt and Whitney Engines is SPOT ON, and probably the BEST one I've seen to date. The other thing that threw me off was in the picture of your F-14D GE F110 Engine Ports it looks like all of the "feathers" might not be exactly the same size. It could have been a shadow in the picture, but it looked like some of the area between the lower and upper "feathers" wasn't the same dimensions all around the exhaust ports. Again this could be the shadows in the pictures OR the Fluorescent Orange hiding some of the details. The only other thing that seemed might be able to be worked with was the price. It costs $5.00 more to buy a new Skystriker in the Store right now with Exhaust Ports that are detailed a tiny bit, but are not horrible. MAYBE finding some different casting materials could help make these more affordable? IF you found a way to get the price down to around $10 bucks a set I am certain they'd sell like hot cakes. Knowing how much Resin 1 to 1 ratio sells for I am fairly confident that the cost per unit could be brought down IF you are getting the supplies from the right places. I could be wrong, I was only going on what I saw in the pictures on ebay. Don't get me wrong...... this is exactly what I always felt was needed. More accurate parts for the Skystriker so customizers can make as accurate a rendition as possible. Last edited by jpdraven; 03-17-2012 at 05:21 PM.. |

Hey Joes,
JoeJetWeapsSpec here, looking for some feedback info. I'm wanting anyone who has seen my GE F110 engines in neon orange to let me know if they would be interested in more "normal" looking ones. If so, please leave me a post! Have some interesting goodies in the pipeline for Skystriker and Night Boomer collectors. |
