At least offer an ARC (almost ready to cover) option. At least then I could get something where I can look at how it's built, modify if needed, and finish to suit my tastes.
This is something that really picks at me. I have asked ARF suppliers about kits and they say it can't be done. If you ask about an ARC version they say "just strip the covering off the ARF and redo it yourself". What a crock. I'm supposed to pay for the first covering job, then pull it off (with all the problems that brings) and THEN re-cover it myself? No thanks.
Good thing I like to scratch build...
