Took a trip to our local architectural warehouse that sells all manner of really cool "old house" stuff. Found a Tower Hobby 40" P-51 D hanging from the ceiling with a price tag of $65.00. That's $5 above 1/2 price compared to a new one, without including shipping.

The plane appears complete and in decent shape. Someone got a bit crazy with epoxy on the landing gear. Pic is below. Assuming it works (which I would test prior to purchase), what would you pay for it?
No, I don't know if it comes with the ape. If it does, that ape will definitely make its way into an airplane and shall be known as "FlyingMonkey." If it doesn't, I will negotiate its inclusion as part of the deal. I foresee a good deal of comical potential.
