Interesting discussion. I once worked with Jaimie on some metal spoke wheels for the 1/8 Hasegawa museum scale kits. Based solely on that experience I would say he is way too ambitious for his business/engineering skills and habitually over commits and under delivers to his customers. After 6 months I gave up and made the parts myself.

I think AZM could be viable. That is, a seller of 1/6 and 1/4 scale R/C plans as well as "tough-to-make" parts for obscure pre-war and WWI aircraft. If they would just concentrate on that and establish a great reputation for quality and value, they would be far better off than their current "complete museum kit in any scale you want" facade.
