True enough, you do get what you pay for. But a good inspection of all the flying surfaces prior to the build eliminates any 'unforseen' problems once the epoxy has dried. Some of the Seagull models may be below the standard of a 'real' model builder but not everyone has those skills. In my limited experience Seagull ship out a value for money, easy to finish kit, at a resonable price. Although I have only built 2 seagull models, both were IMHO and for my skill level very good.
