Not cheap ($350, free US shipping), but better than the second-hand prices may be, I reckon.
They also added that black paint around the cockpit; originally the nose wasn't painted.
I also think this could clean up pretty well. The broken bits don't appear to be anything unique to the VT-1, so you could likely source some Jetfire parts as replacements.
Even without the armor the Super Ostrich is my fave and deserves some love.
Unfortunately I tried a couple types of solvent (Plastruct Plastic Weld, Weld-On #4) and it didn't work. I think maybe the piece is maybe some kind of nylon? And I actually did try running a nail through the length of my 3D-printed part and it still bent. Bananas, huh?
Here's mine. They should have had the peg go up into the bottom of the cradle rather than the back end there.
I tried 3D printing up a replacement part but the weight of the fighter bent the resin peg down after only a few hours...
