Very typical of "custom cut" kits from older plans. That means that it is a builders kit. I found a few discrepancies and omissions in the plans and instructions. There were a few pieces of wood that were not in the box. The quality of the glass work on the cowl was less than I expected. All in all, I found it to be a good building kit and the final product is a nice scale representation. I look forward to flying it. I do feel that the cost was a bit high -given the comments above. Would I buy another IKON N'WST kit? YES.
