Remember, condition is everything. In this case I see some issues. A little rust perhaps, and a missing prop, not to mention some scratching of the paint. So, one like this in this condition would go for perhaps $250.00 +/- 10% or so. Examples in very good condition might go for as much as $350-400.

That one is in nice condition except for the missing prop ... Alps large Stratocruisers are often covered with a kind of lacquer that yellows with age. It also came in Northwest colors, the markings of both versions are very realistic.
