Hi Tgraham.
I have not done this kit, but I'm going to say that the gaps are not normal - so the neck may need some sanding so as to sit better in the neck pocket.
As far as the angle of the fretboard to the body, I think it does look a bit high! But saying that, if you have a look at the linked pictures of a GR1-sf kit (which is also a set neck, hollow body, curve top) they look to be very similar:

Definitely do a mock build with the neck in place, and the bridge (with screw inserts) in place and check if the strings are a suitable height above the fretboard.
