Hi Allan,
Yes, scaling should be done but it is a kit with most of the hardware roughly machine inlet already. There is not a lot that can be changed, which is why I don't normally build kits. I want to make the important design decisions. However, kits do teach you how to make the best of a given situation and correct problems, skills which help with your own work. That said, Jim Kibler's kits are the only ones I've seen for which I would not likely try to change the architecture simply because I could not better Jim's designs. All other kits I've seen so far could use some tweaking at least.
