RE: first war bird, how to decide?
Miloh, No I haven't built it. There's a construction thread on another forum in which one is being built. I think it's his first kit and he is enjoying it.
The stuka is supposed to be a good flier. I hope so, I have a kit for the Ziroli version, ready to be built this summer.
Sounds to me like you are ready for warbirds. Have fun!
