Quinn , you could always try a kit bash..
You are still a newb to building and we alll were at one time

..but thats where you take a well known good flier like a 4 star, Tiger 2, or a high wing trainer and reshape the looks of the fuse to look like a different (scale) plane.
I have made 4 stars into ME 109,Spitfire,Typhoon ... its kind of fun to go that route...
I always thought a Tiger 2 might make a fun scale Bonanza or something..its a fun thing to try..
