Default The Top flite giant P51D

I have a chance to get the old, TopFlite Giant edition P51D for 450.00, in original box, complete and unbuilt. I have built several trainers and a couple sport planes and my current is a Hangar 9 Carbon Cub ARF. I have never built anything as a big as the TopFlite P51 from the ground up. The plane is 5 hours drive from me as the owner will not ship. I can't buy these new anymore, so I guess I'll have to just take a trip and get it. So my question is, how is that s plane? Does it fly very well and is it pretty close to being scale? Will it be worth 450 and a days drive to get it? It sure does look nice and I always wanted this kit when I saw it on tower years ago.... I just didn't know if I could handle it back then, but now I think I can. This will probably be my last chance to get one, should I go for it? Thanks. Also if there are better options for a giant scale P51 that is a complete kit, let me know.
