flugwerk.de also make a new fw-190, and replica P-40s have and are
still being made around the world, but your looking at over $1m usd for
something airworthy, replica or original.


I think you can still find the occasional airworthy P-51 for a bit
over half a million, but that is because there are so many of them,
relatively speaking. The F4U is very rare and they are up into the
millions.

the average P-51 price is 1.5m usd, ive seen stock p-51's not flown
since ww2 for 500k, and some for 1.1m in need of restorations but
ferriable.

definately not worth the money.
