Small Scale Military Headquarters

Anyone have a idea on what the S2 Royal Navy Corsair is worth. The tail hook is gone and one of the wings had to be glued as the folding mechanism broke.

Kind of depends if you still have the box too, but just a guess I would say between 45-60. I got mine off ebay lastyear buy it now for 30 bucks, but it deffinetly had been used with some scrathes in it. No box either. It had just been posted along with some other 1:18 planes. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. I tryed to buy more, but people were buying them faster than the computer could upload the next page.

Well, with the damage, not a whole lot.

One of these just completed on ebay. It looked in OK condition.

Search for French 1/18. Yeah, it was the British Corsair, but the seller thought it was the French flag on the tail ... this probably kept the number of buyers lower, but as one of the bidders I suspect the final price was still reflective of a fair market value.

Early in the 21c release either amazon.com or TRU (online) was selling this plane for $20. My first 21c plane was the winter Stuka in a damaged box from TRU for $20 (no pilots). After getting it, my brother bought the British Corsair for $20 ... there were a number of them being liquidated.

I wouldn't mind having a second one, and the folding wings are a problem with the early 21c F4s.

I can not recall what the ebay one finished at, but if it helps I always tack on $20 in the cost of shipping and would not have bid more than $45 on a plane I already have. On California Cutie I've been bidding between $70 and $100, figuring that there would be $20-25 in shipping.

Perhaps somebody here has been out bidding me and I may have to change my limits.

With time and trouble, it's worthless,
but ...

look at it as a nice piece that you can use to learn how to paint with.

Get a sprayer, stencils and paint it over and over again.

The hardest part is deciding to do it.
