Default Need help on pricing a old Balsa Wood plane (Catalina PBY~5a)

I have a old plane that is a "Balsa" Wood craft that is still in the original box but one part of the box is ripped at the edge but all contents are good, it wsa passed down from a family friend that passed away

this is a link to all the pics, can someone please tell me what this is worth and if i have all the parts or not. I am not a active hobbyist with plane and I would like to sell it



The Box says: Consolidated Catalina PBY~5a
Amphibious Flying Boat
Celebrated W.W.2 Allied Forces Float Plane

Giant 1/28 scale * 7/16" = 1'0"
Wing Span: 45-1/2 (115.57cm)
Length: 28-1/2 (72.39cm)



Please tell me if all the contents are there and what you think its worth today

All they have really changed is the picture on the box... I don't think they have started putting out a lazer cut edition of the PBY yet. (The newer box at the LHS looks different and is still the same die-cut model.)

Agreed. Probably shouldn't expect to get more than about $30, but list it on eBay because you never know over there.
