Thanks for all your suggestions, the Top Flite P-40 looks really nice but I think I'll go with one of the Hangar 9 warbirds like the P-47. The really nice thing about those planes is that they come with retracts installed.
I would like to put a gas engine in it because I've heard their a lot cheaper to run, but I will go with a glow if that is a better choice. I looked at the ESM models but I can't seem to find any prices for them, very nice models though. Your help is appreciated.
