Do some research around this and other RC web sites before making the decision to purchase from AZMA. There is lots of information to be had!

I've added a bit of bold underline to Chad's very good advice.

how scale do you want to get?

there is also a great selection of models that suit almost anyone who wants to enjoy a fast building model that looks like the real thing in the air by Balsa USA.

Proctor-Enterprises.com all the way! Like what is printed in one of his catalogs says- 'the quality remains long after the price is forgotten!' Do yourself a favor and buy one of these (I have everything but his Jenny and Albatros). Glenn Torrance Models is excellent, too (I've bought fabric and mini-kits. Will buy a 1/4 DrI when available). If you don't mind shopping 'across the pond' Mick Reeves gives five star service (I have two 1/4 Camels).

Nothing but trouble, your better off dealing with Proctor Models, BUSA or Glenn Torrance Models. I too had bad dealings with Arizona Models.

Hope I helped,

And dont forget BUSA if you're not concerned with eye watering scale, and you can add as much detail to a BUSA model as you want. I have actually ordered four items from Jaime and got them all, did I feel they were a good value, NO. Two kits (not airplane kits) I was able to use and two others are still in the boxes unsuitable for my purposes. The kits I used were a cockpit kit for British aircraft that I used to detail the cockpit in my SE 5a and a Lewis gun kit for the same model. Another cockpit kit and a Pair of Vickers guns in 1/3 scale werent really much good. Lots of paper parts. I would NEVER buy a full model kit from AZM.
