Gabriel, we are in the US, our currency is the US Dollar and Graupner USA charges about $ 700 plus shipping.

And a good quarter scale plane starts around $250 here.
The Graupner quality is great, but won't justify the high price. And I am German, lived most of my life there.
Rc planes are a lot cheaper in the US, Graupner, Robbe, Multiplex are rather unknown here because of their prices.

TFF, thanks for the info. I am not much of a scratch builder. This plane shoudl be as scale as possible and I'd like to have a nice cockpit and cowling with it.
It's a beautiful plane when it's build right.
Years ago some of the German vendors had a nice selection of these planes, not anymore...
