Granted "kits" is a collective term, but a kit is more than the sum
of its parts, and describing the parts individually does not meet
patron needs, nor reflect the resource as a whole.
There are various ways of conveying the constituent parts of a kit. In
MARC: 006, 007, and 505/7XX for example. I don't know what RDA's MARC
replacement coding system will offer.
While a kit may contain objects, it is not itself an object.
