Time to start planning for a winter build project.

I've wanted to build a P-51D for as long as I have been flying (1980-88 and since May this year!) If I were to do this, would the Top Flite be the kit I need or are there others that I need to consider?

My goals aren't for a totally scaled out plane but maybe stand (way) off scale, a DLE-55 or MT-57, Keleo exhaust system and retracts (Century Jet maybe). I love the trim scheme on the Top Flite P-51D kit, the new blue nose Hangar 9 P-51 or maybe a Miss America theme.

What do you experts have to add?

Thanks!
