I recently purchased one of the "Mustang P51D EP" models from Nitroplanes. This was the worst kit I have ever bought. First of all, their web site states "battery hatch is in front of the canopy" but there is no battery hatch. This requires you to remove the wing each time you change batteries (which is a major pain). Also, some of the parts were made of a cheap plastic that you were required to cutout yourself. The color of the plastic parts did not match the covering color.
This is pretty standard... even for other manufacturers, not to specifically defend Nitroplanes.
My Model Tech Extra 300 ARF from Tower also had a cowl that was a) too big, b) did not match the color scheme, etc.
Often the instructions or ads indicate things like a hatch, etc. that you find has been changed or eliminated. e.g. talk to me about wing templates!
I've seen the plane you are talking about both the owner and myself did not find anything bad about it given it's price.
Cutting the plastic yourself is fairly standard.... you should see how much you have to do this with the Model Tech.
These are all Asian kits/arfs with the same characteristics in their respective price ranges.
You get what you pay for to a large degree.
If you pay for a more expensive plane the build is usually (but unfortunately not always) better.
If you want better built planes though, stick with the bigger brands. They often have a semblance of caring about what they sell.
