"If you take joy in the crafting of a model, you'll find these kits more satisfying than the current run of prefabbed, half-plastic kits." 
"Although it looks like a two-stager, in fact the forward fins are there just to stabilize the unpowered payload delivery container." "On the model, each set of fins is cut from 1/8" lite-ply. The lite-ply is a good choice: It's not significantly heavier than balsa, is just as easy to cut, and the finer-grained outer skin sands and finishes much more easily." 
"Overall, construction of this kit is straightforward, the instructions are clear and easy to follow." 
"It is important to make sure that all eight fins are straight, and that the upper set is aligned to the booster fins." 
"Be careful not to round off the conical balsa nose cone while sanding." 
"Don't omit the metal washer supplied as nose-weight; it's essential for stability." 
"The paint scheme is relatively simple, requiring minimal masking." 
"The RP-3 performs well on a D12-7." 
"This kit also includes an 18" silver mylar chute, or for an additional 40 cents you can specify one of 5 other metallic colors." 

The entire article gives the impression is that this kit would be for intermediate modelers and those looking for their first scale kit.
