Make that US$43 now, sadly due to the shit AU$ exchange rate at the moment, my what could have been a semi-impressive donation of AU$41 only amounts to €25 (US$27), but I hope still it helps.
It is a tad sad that community has not rallied behind the project considering how much free content has been made available over the years. I guess it just comes down to people having other aircraft as their priority, and for a lot them a German bomber that has not the best perceived reputation was not one of them.
For me along with the Do-217 the He-177 rounds out the late operational Luftwaffe bomber force quite nicely, except for maybe the lack of a Ju-188, and notwithstanding of course more variants of the the existing Luftwaffe bombers (Ju-88, He-111, Ar-234).
It would be interesting to see how the response may have been if the project had been for a B-17, B-29, Lancaster, Sterling, or Halifax?
