Default RE: Dave Platt FW-190 Kit - What's it worth?

That kit was probably produced in the late 70's to early 80's. You won't find it on Dave Platt's current website because he sold off the rights to the early line of kits like that and Pica then produced them. Dave moved on to bigger and better things, namely producing his 1/5th scale planes and accessories. At least, that's how I remember it.

A friend of mine built one of those back in 1976 when I first got involved in R/C. It has good moments and flys quite well for a .60 sized plane. The Dora has some very interesting paint schemes too. If I didn't have so many kits right now, I'd make you an offer myself but if I get one more, my wife said she'd bury it with me. Just kidding but you get the point I'm sure.
