A bigger concern is the shipping.
Packaging of large sheets...safely...and then the oversize parcel costs.
You've already got an expensive kit...and you will have to tack on an unreasonable
shipping cost that will really turn away any interested parties.

Can these models be built at a smaller scale?
If so, that makes them appealing to any builder
as well as the big scale builders.

You could market them as "large" scale models in a small scale package.
(PDF printable kits)

Normal size kits that can be printed in a variety of scales.
Play up the idea of building them at largest scale...
but include full instructions on how to print the pages at any scale.

Include a list of print enlargements (%) to a variety of scale sizes
and explain the various card thicknesses necessary to build the bigger scales.
Expalin how you get the pages printed and suggest print methods.

Do all your presentation representing the large scale build,
photos of larges scale models, etc
and include the fact that the models can be built at reduced scales too.


...
but, I have one more thing to add.
recently there is a lot of renewed interest in the Saturn V.
(a recent video of Neil degrasse Tyson unpackaging a large model for his office
was a big hit on the net!)


A large scale model of that rocket would receive a lot of interest.
If only as a display piece.
A large printed kit of the Saturn V would have a small market.

Presented properly I could see it fetching $75-$100
