Hi, Charles... Mine came with a foam wing, stab, fin and a canopy.. and was Labeled as a Ziroli 100 in. P51-D. But was produced by Ralph Saxton in California. Also included was a single sheet of hand drawings of not much value as to anything excepting the foam parts and the rudder post. There were no rib patterens nor the airfoil shapes of the foam wing, stabs and etc. There also were two fuselage foam formers included already jammed into the fuselage, but not fastened inplace. Direct comparision to the following plans that I have on hand...though I don't have a set of Ziroli P-51 Plans to compare to and can't tell that way.. To the Pica Plans...they are of the wrong (too small) and not very scale. And of course the Top Flite G. S. is no where close to scale, and still to small at 96 inches. To the Doss Steed P51-D that I blew up to qtr. scale it seems closer to it though still not to the scale of the Steed Mustang....but closer to it than the others. The Laminar Wing of the Steed Mustang lets that out though. If you could get/borrow a set of Ziroli P51-D Plans and have Kinko's blow em up a bit it just could possibly fit the wing saddle of the Saxton Mustang. I would guess that it is a blow up of the Ziroli, though I can't swear to it untill proven so. I can only guess. There is a build thread on a Ziroli/Saxton P51-D that shows some things of interest. Will try to find it and post back here with it.. if your interested ??
