Reply to "Craftsman kits for structures"

IMO. General construction knowledge come into play also.  Advanced kits are buildings, with building parts, many modelers would have issues knowing some of these terms.  You would probably find some of these words in the instructions of an advanced kit or model. 
purlin
soffit
fascia
stud
rafter
balloon framing
post and beam framing
joist
rafter
sill
stool
sash
lintel
transom
double hung
threshold
truss
stringer
tread
rise
casement
chair rail
I copied this exploded view from a BTS kit.


My thought. 
 If you know the definitions of 90% of the terms posted above,  you're ready for a craftsman kit.
