Default Which P-51 kit is right for me?

I need some advice. I am going to build a giant scale P-51 this winter and need to know which kit / kits best suit my needs. Power will be either a 43cc Fuji, or a DL 50. I will probably use the DL-50 because it is slimmer and should fit in a cowl better. It needs to be something that can be built light as it will have the wings clipped, and I don't want to get crazy with the wing loading. Our field is a bit on the short side. It needs to be wood, as I will be modifing the canopy area, wings, and scoop to resemble one of the Reno racers. I will be glassing and painting it though, so it needs to be a fully sheeted design. Any ideas are welcome.

if you can get your hands on the Jack Devine P51 that would be a kit easily modified. It is an all foam, balsa sheeted plane. Perfect plane to modify. Just gotta find one
