Shadow if you want my opinion... if you are capable of going the scratch built route.. possibly find a unique plane, or a rare one at least ... after doing all that work, why let your craftsmanship look like one of a million other kits and ARFs. Just my 10 cents (inflation)
I was torn about that for a long time. I originally wanted to do something along the lines of a Bf-110 or a Ju-88 but I am slightly worried about engine clearance and finding documentation for machining landing gear, etc. One thing I am going for this time around is a show model that can score well in both static and flight events.
