Not the Mustang, but I'm finishing up the 1/6 FW-190.  Nice kit.  Goes together
well.  I've put flaps and retracts (Spring Air pneumatic) in it and I finished
it with 3/4 oz glass cloth and Pic coating epoxy.  Should come out in the
9-10 lb range.  I'm almost ready to paint it.

I'll post a flying report when it flies.
