This is a great flying plane should you decide to build it. Below is a link to a pretty good, very informative thread on the Royal/Marutaka kits, full of tips and info and members who are passionate about the Royal kits as well.

PS just saw your location...it's funny, I bought this kit, Royal P-51 Sr, and a Goldberg Sr Falcon at a hobby shop on Montgomery when I lived there in the early 80's. Falcon is long gone and I shelved the 'Stang for 25years mid build. Picked it up again last year and just recently finished it.
