Creating an instrument your own hands is the part of the true enjoyment of an analog synthesizer. The MS-20 Kit lets you obtain a real, full-sized MS-20 by assembling it yourself.
It goes without saying that, just like the MS-20 mini released in January 2013, the engineers who developed the original MS-20 have overseen this project - ensuring that its historic sound is reproduced with complete fidelity.
In addition, the MS-20 Kit provides the filters from both the early and late versions of this classic instrument and it even allows you to switch between them. Today, 36 years after this historic instrument was first unveiled in 1978, the MS-20 returns to its true origin.

Nothing strange about it at all. Electronic musical instruments have been available in kit form for many years, on & off, for the electronic hobbyist (and the impoverished). Perhaps the earliest was in the late 1940's. (A 2 manual & pedal organ no less).
Are the Wersi kits still available? I though they'd been discontinued.

Wersi stopped making kits around 1990; the link is to part of the brochure of the analogue W series (1977-84) when kits were kits, and took ages to build.
