I finally got one 5 weeks ago for $20.
I would say they are worth $30-$40... Not sure though.

i don't think that site is still in business. Months ago i tried to buy a Gee Bee from them but could not get any response to emails, nor could i complete my purchase. I remember reading that they went out of business a while ago, but werent directly related to the Pegasus that actually makes the 1/18 stuff.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

I think Aviator Nut still has a few.

As of last week there were a couple still on ebay for $32. I just checked.

Maybe they are all gone.

My local Hobbytown had one for the longest time... I think it was in the $30-$40 range, but I never really looked too closely as I already had one. When I was in there last, my attention was diverted by the BBI F-16, so I didn't look to see if it was still there...

Its a nice and unique model if you can find one. The markings are decals, but the paint job is done nicely and it looks good. Truly a random subject for a 1:18 scale aircraft model, but certainly one of significant historical importance.

As of today, there are a few etailers that still are selling them from $27 to around $40.
