I agree it's somewhat deceptive. For example, I'm familiar with the David Hurrell Albatros CIII model. I have a contruction article on it. It was originally designed for 1/6 scale and has a very thin scale airfoil. It's hard to imagine this at 1/12 scale. This is a very nice model at 1/6 scale (I have the plans) but it might not be such a nice model at 1/12 scale. And remember we're not talking about a "museum scale" kit designed at 1/12 scale but rather a 1/6 scale model for which the plan size has been reduced. BTW, I wouldn't consider any of the models from AZM to be "museum scale." Some are very good sport scale designs, even competitively good scale designs -- for example, the Albatros CIII. But museum scale is a whole different ballgame.

Also I notice under items included, it lists "Vintage Wheels." Well, this specifically means WB Vintage Wheels not spoked wheels.

Anyway, I don't want to seem to be defending AZM, which clearly needs to improve several aspects of the business end of things. But it is important to be realistic in terms of what we can expect. Functional turnbuckles on a 1/12 scale model? Not likely. I can hardly find useable turnbuckles for a 1/6 scale model and they are typically quite expensive. I would have had to spend several hundred dollars on turnbuckles for my current project. Besides for 1/12 scale those jewelry clasps actually work quite well (or fishing swivels). At that scale you don't need (and really can't use) functional rigging. It would be a nightmare.

But I'm glad you've gone ahead and got the Proctor kit as those really are a joy to build from all reports. I hope you enjoy the build and my very best wishes for improved health.
