This is very interesting. I must say that I'm struck by how amateurish the kit production seems to be. It really shows how these companies have been coasting in a niche field. There aren't many places where that level of poor technical documentation and shoddy production tolerances would be acceptable. Especially when you need to drop that much cash on it. Glad to hear there are new companIes breaking that mold though.

I almost feel like those old kits would have made more sense to not even include wood or fittings. Just sell a set of tech documents and instructions, plus a list of materials and tools. Almost seems more insulting to give you a bunch of uncut crap wood like you describe.

That scratch built ribbed model looks really cool.
