Arizona Models currently offers kits in a 1/12 and 1/4 scale sizes only. Plans at 1/3 scale and a short kit can be cut on a custom basis. We do not currently offer the 1/3 N 17 aluminum cowl which is the reason a full kit is not on the web (yet). Pictures of an assembled kit and a sample of the scale plans can be seen by clicking on the Flyboys Models button on the home page. (FYI We provided the detailed plans to Flyboys for the Dr.1 N 17 Gotha and Zeppelin. We also produced all the triplane models used in the movie) These drawings are the source for the kit design which comes with wire wheels, a 9 cylinder dummy engine, guns with brass ammo, leather trim, cockpit details and custom brass/aluminum hardware.

With regard to the "bad reputation" AZM has been making kits for 14 years. Early on (before I bought the company) orders were slow to fill and the quality was not the best. We have significantly improved both aspects. Considering we offer over 50 different aircraft types most at scale sizes from 1/12 to full size and of the 3500+ orders filled on an annual basis we average less that a half dozen returns and cancellations a year. AZM designs have consistently been invited to Top Gun, place in the top 10 nationally at Scale Masters, and have won Best Of Show (last 2 years) at Rhienbeck. A reputation is a like a model. They are a lot easier to crash than build. You may want to look into this yourself than relying on the Internet echo chamber.
