Easily Broken/Lost Pieces:

The parachutes are commonly missing with the Skystriker. Receiving the parachutes with the Skystriker is a real find.

The canopy, the two tail fins, the six missiles, the two seats, and the two engines are also sometimes lost. Of the six missile, the two front "stinger" missiles are often found broken. Take extra care of the "stinger" missiles.

Note that the Skystriker is molded in white plastic than can sometimes become discolored yellow. Some factors known to cause the discoloration include exposure to direct sunlight for an extended period of time, humidity, contact with chemicals (such as glue or tape), and bright artificial light.


Variations:

There are two versions of the nose gun on the Combat Jet Skystriker [XP-14F]. One version of the nose has a grid behind the gun - the other version does not have the grid.


Vehicle Construction:
