How could you put a price on an aircraft built by slave labor, like alot of the latewar German war-machines?

To make this really fair you would have to use a rating system; time to build, ease of production, use of raw materials, availability of materials.

Otherwise, it is pointless.

You want a "price" for the first one or the last one off the line? You want that with or without guns etc? (the gov't deals with that part, mister) Which accounting standards you prefer?

Prices? Yeah, we got a whole *bucket* o' prices....

Well, I have to say with the 163 that since it was a newer design during its time, it took way more to make it. With things like the engine especailly. But I dont know diddly squat about the 163.... my 2 cents.

I would be surprised if any of the numbers in the original post are correct.

Airframe $127,069
Engines $38,483
Propellers $11,900
Electronics $9,040
Ordnance $6,342
Miscellaneous equipment $45,495
Total: $238,329

Production cost of a Ju 88A-5 in 1940:

Material cost: RM 141,996
Labour cost: RM 14,998
Miscellaneous (including profit):RM 39,831
Total: RM 196,825 ($46,863 in 1940's currency conversion)

could i have mine with nitro , underlighting and sports seats. Oh and cup holders?




On a serious note . remember to add inflation to the first figures. the guy above me quoted bigger numbers but is that in modern $$ or as the $$ were worth in 1943? on the spitfire note the rest of the money wa made up in old fences. Many a terraced street here in Wales have no fence out side their doors as they were nicked by the MoD in 1940.

I'm afraid the Ta 152H is the only model available with Nitro, but select models of the 109F-4 comes with a cigar lighter!
