I ordered this kit from Japan and it arrived in 3 days!! This is IMCTH fine structures 1/32 Mustang kit.THis is a skeleton kit like the DeAgostini 1/16 Zero kit.In fact imcth says on their website they were involved in the Zero manufacture. This is a beautiful kit.Top quality parts very similar to the DeAgostini Zero kit.The cast metal parts are highly detailed and the metal frame is quick thick and some of the more complex parts are actually preshaped. I will be doing some painting on this kit and I am considering using a Tamiya cockpit set to augment the cockpit.This will be quite a big project. here are some pics of the finished model from their website and some unpacking pics of the parts. This is quite expensive, but is well worth the money in my opinion and I think it will build into a stunning model. Now a 1/16 mustang kit would be even better!!!! darbyvet attached the following image(s):

Looks a superb kit of the Mustang Carl and should build into a real show stopper when completed - very nice indeed!!  
That second photo down in your first post, of the tail section, looks suspiciously like that of a Messerscmitt Me109 not a P-51Mustang? I hope the kit doesn't turn out to be a collaborative version of both? Mind you, it would be interesting to see what a Messerscmitt P-109 Mustang looks like I think?!

LOL I am sure you can understand why I chose a kit with NO decals after the OCCRE debacle.I am actually putting dry transfers on the OCCRE boxcar and the caboose I made and these are ALMOST as frustrating as the OCCRE decals.
