I beat you to it---I posted it on the Buy/Sell area a few days ago.

Yes this has been posted before. But as many has said the plane has some issues. But I guee it does not matter. This guy sells all of his stuff right or wrong. Mostly wrong. It could be the same guy who buys his stuff I don't know. I labor 3-4 days just trying to get a goofy rear canopy right and this guy does not even try to get any details right . He manages to sell them a price that all customizers would be jeolous over.

I don't get it. Maybe I should just do my stuff half azz and see what I can get away with?

I think that plane looks great! I dont think its worth 500 bucks but someone thinks it does, and I think that to whoever made it, is what matters. I wouldnt mind making a quick buck off of a custom I made. Not to knock you Pick but some people dont really worry too much about historical accuracy. i think you are doing a great job with the Stuka and Thawk and its great that you take the time and have the patience to create something like that. But someone might just pay that much because its a one of a kind. in the immortal words of Forrest Gump: Thats all I have to say about that:)

nice model, interesting idea, no way worth $500.

I don't know what's happening with the interest in customs, but I don't understand it. I used to make custom Allied figures - US, Brits, Russians - and NEVER did I sell one that even approached the cost in materials and time I put into them. I'm not saying they were museum quality, but they were historically accurate and well made. Recently, I've seen some 'customs' - which are mainly re-paints or badly-done kitbashing - selling for $30 and up. One pilot figure had a parachute harness that was only over his upper torso, nothing on his legs (and it wasn't even a German harness), sold for almost $30.....

So it's a mystery to me.
