Looks to be a very nice plane, but you should start off back at the basic's. Buy or build a trainer, join a club and master the trainer before you fly the P-51. Good luck, and keep us informed. Scoot
I would agree. starting off with a warbird might be a quick end to hobby. Now if you want a warbird you can go the route i did.

I learned on the first one that came out. I only know of one other guy who did this. Myself and G-Pete. We both had the same instructor and by the way he didn’t like us learning on this bird, but we did and i started flight training in January and Soloed in the last part of February. I know it can be done on this bird.

However i must warn you this may be the start of endless hours of sanding, filing, and obsessing over detail that no one will see but you.
