Not necessarily. The weekend builds I've done (years ago) are designed more for fun than for "precise" modeling. That being said, taking something in a smaller scale (1/48 armor or 1/72 armor/aircraft) allows for a decent build with fewer parts. I know that taking a 1/35 DML Premium Kit with 400+ PE parts isn't going to work in a weekend, but a 1/48 Tamiya StuG III with a nice single coat paint scheme can be done up to show quality over a weekend.
I guess it depends on what your definition of "precise building" is. For me, that would involve (on a typical 1/35 armor kit) about 3 days alone of scratchbuilding or modifying suspensions, interiors, etc before I even got the kit started.
Again, to each his own, but these builds are FUN, and every modeler has his or her own ideas on what that is.
