I built this kit in 2005 as a part of a two aircraft set of Reno Racers planes, the other being the T-6 Texan another great re-issued kit. The Mustang is part of the history of WW2 so it should stand out as mine represents the ones first painted in camouflage olive drab though-out. The parts all fit together with no issues to speak and details were highlighted to some degree as the kit was aged being a re-issue at least one other time. As a dual kit set the instructions were somewhat limited in what would be best described as difficult for a beginning modeler. All things considered the aircraft kit stands with all others in quality from Monogram - Revell as one would expect.
