The completed building (the air condition on the roof is not included).
I have to admit that the kit is not bad but somewhat different from injection molded styrene I prefer. I found it more complicate to assemble than typical Cornerstone kits. All parts are plain white. It might be a problem to get the right paint f they are given like the KFC dark read..
I "guess" the kit is made in the USA from a small company (Summit). They do not have the volume and funds to either install their own injection molding factory or to contract with a mayor player in China. A laser cutter is within reach for that kind of small company. With the domestic US cost (or any west European country) and the low volume of a startup is the sales price quite understandable.
Taking that assumption into account is the kit an adequate offer.
