If I recall and I could be wrong because I emailed them back in 2005 and dont have the response anymore but the 500K is Euro which aprox 657K in US Dollars at the moment.

The 500K was just a basic kit and you had to put it together yourself and I dont think it included the engine.

That's still pretty good. But strictly from a indealistic perspective. I don't think I'd trust anything I put together to fly in.

Even my balsawood jobbies when I was a kid were suicide barrels.

A Porsche Carrera GT3 or a Flug Werks FW-190? Hmmm... The FW-190 sounds nicer!

Same here. Even if it is a replica it would be a great asset to own and fly around.

I would probably call it "new production" instead of replica, since they say they are building these from orginal blueprints. I am sure this is a point that would be argued since the serial number is really what makes something truly authentic. Even if there was a slim chance of owning a WW2 era FW-190, I think I would opt for the Flug Werk version, since we're talking of new/current technology and materials. Airplanes are meant to flown, just like cars are meant to be driven.

Ah I had a buddy in the Navy based over in Bahrain several years ago until they transferred him to Bahgdad, now he is back in the States again.

Ive made it to Iraq, Kuwait, Quatar, and Turkey but never to Bahrain. My friend actually enjoyed it there, atleast so he says.
