we are not familiar with this brand of kit.

After their demise Corel was formed and took over some of their product line
Time will have taken its toll on the kits , so I wonder if the wood offered in the kits can still be used or will be to brittle ?? I hope Dave Stevens may offer his expertise here ??

Think the wood should be fine. I have an unbuilt kit from the 1970s and it is still flexible.
I think that depends where they kept that kit ,dry or humid place,makes a huge diference.
I saw one of their kits on e-bay. The sell it for $149.00 or best offer? The quality of wood may not be that good, but you make buy a good bargain on parts itself. There is plenty of casting and they might worth the money. Take a look below link
