NIB P-38 California Cutie- to sell, or not to sell?

Little Iodine · Post by **Little Iodine** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 11:41 am

Just wondering how rare these are getting?
I found a NIB one in the back of my closet yesterday

I actually forgot I even had it.
I'm not sure if I want to sell it, or hang on to it.
I was just wondering what it's worth? I know that's contingent on whatever someone is willing to pay....but what is realistic, $100-$150-$200???
I just have no idea. Wanted some input to help me decide.

Wow, thanks for the link. I'll have to watch & see if there's any takers.

Got two of these myself,Little Iodine.

One displayed,and one still MIB.

I would say that CC would go for $200+.Maybe $250+.But it is really dependant on varying factors.

It's probably the nicest of the P-38's, so I would think twice about selling.

Latest CC sold on EBAY for $138 on 7/14.

It’s like Snake said they are up and down due to various factors. They aren’t up there with the bbi jets yet or the 21C choppers. That being said, of the P-38’s its one of the best schemes produced so it will do well in time.

Sorry, Snake, but gotta vote for Haleakala (had to read it off my plane to make sure I spelled it right!)...At least I can pronounce "California Cutie"!

But I do agree, hang on to the P38's if you can!

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I think I'll hang onto it then.
Maybe I'll open it up one of these days!

LOL! Notice I said it was one of the best schemes out there. My Haleakala is my favorite as well but when I went to Google the correct spelling I butchered it so bad it didn’t even come close to showing up. Had to leave that part out but you are 100% spot on. Haleakala is top notch in my book.

That’s a good choice. This plane will go no place but up in value. Mine is still boxed as well and will probably stay that way due to space constraints.

Actually have to go with Haleakala myself.Thanks toyktdlgh,and 456THBG.

But the California Cutie is certainly a very close second.

My advice would also be to keep any P-38 that you have.Only going to be harder to find,and more expensive later.

One of my favourite 1/18 models.I have all the schemes.

I like all the OD green P-38's.

Unfortunately all I have is the fictitious Samantha Peyton which isn't too bad. I snoozed I loosed.

Heyekalea or whatever it's called is the best, second is California Cutie, followed by a distant third Samantha P.
