The BUSA Eindecker, or any BUSA WWI kit, is a good place to startdeveloping scale building skills. I'd say, go ahead and have at it !

As you learn more, you can decide how much accuracy you will want to put into your creations.

If it were me, I'd add details that are easily noticed, and that will set your model apart from others. Use a fabric covering, such as Solartex, not a plastic film.

Go for it, and have some fun !!!

By the way, my brother lives "near" you, in Paradise. He learned to fly, just this year.
