My experience in full scale was flying a PA-18 for 20hrs and T-6 for 120hrs in USAF pilot training. The Air Force taught only 3 point landings. When I got a TF P-47 I was sure I wanted to 3 point land it. After varying results I settled on wheel landings in the model P-47. A 3 point landing requires touch down at the correct air speed every time and without that feedback I found consistent 3 point landing hard to achieve.

I now have air speed telemetry and will try the 3 point landing again.
