Red face Large scale interest

Hello folks,
Slightly out of my territory here but had a brain-fart/hypo-manic idea over the weekend and am wondering how much interest there might be for it. We restore and recreate parts and aircraft and in the process most parts are modeled via CADCAM. As you can imagine there is not a huge market for full scale aircraft so we are always looking for ways to offset our costs. It is a fairly simple matter to change scale on parts. My question is this; how much interest would there be in serialized kits for exact scale 1:3, 1:4, 1:6 etc... ? Specifically laser cut bracketry, investment castings, CNC'd metal fittings, instruments, wheels etc... potentially engines as well. What would be of the most interest; rough parts or finished? Without wood or complete package? Any thoughts? I'm not hazarding a guess about expense yet but would be interested in a cost target that folks would realistically consider. Feel free to humiliate the idea in a constructive manner .
Regards,
William
