Here's a few shots of the finished Mustang. Still need to put the radio gear in it and then balance but the building is done.

The pics don't really show the actual size of this plane but it is huge. Maybe compare it next to the cars in the background.

and here's a close-up pic of the IronAss decal

Here are a few more pics of the P-51 with me behind the plane for a good reference of the size of the plane. When I get some time, I need to build a cradle for it so I can work on the plane. I need to put the radio gear in, check and lock-tite all the nuts & bolts and then put a prop on it. Oh, I will also need to buy a bigger starter for it because the one I have will not even turn over the engine.

Oh yeah, I need a prop too.

I would be to afraid to fly that cause I wouldn't want to crash it.

Is the fuse , fiberglass? Or what kit did it come from?

It's the Saxton 1/4 scale kit which I believe was designed from the Bud Nosen plans.
