Hi Dedman, mock build looks cool.
End of fret board height does look to be sitting a bit higher than you would expect but suggest waiting until you have bridge positioned where it should go and then re-check how things are. Some of these kits do have a larger than what appears normal gap from end of FB to top of guitar body.

Grabbed some measurements of fretboard and bridge.
Top of crown on last fret; high e between 6 and 6.5mm, low E about 7.5mm from top of body.
Underside of strings at bridge; both about 17.5mm from top of body.
The difference in neck measurements would explain why I still need to take a bit more off the bridge base to get the action down on the high e side (and overall), so go by the bass side as a guide and the height at bridge would be better lower.
Hope this helps and doesn't confuse the issue.
