It depends on a lot of factors... The cost you paid for the plane, the cost of the custom work done to it, etc. F-16s in their original state are going for over $200 (and often more). If it is really well-done and unique custom work, that could drive up the value. On the other hand, it could also drive it down...

Depends on how bad someone wants it.

Here it is. This was the first one he did. I've had it for about two years.I had him modify the nose wheel so it didn't sit so nose high, like the real plane.This cost more than $500, when include the price of the plane and the paint job itself. Jack is AWESOME!!!!!!
