Default Need airfoil advice

I would welcome any advice on choosing an airfoil for an 'approximate' scale Mosquito I'm just starting to draw.

The span is 54", 13.5 " root chord, 5.5 " tip chord. (I have reduced the taper from the original.)
The wing area is approximately 500 sq in. I'm thinking twin .15's.

I am not a speed demon. Predictable and gentle stall charactistics figure high in my books. I want to keep it simple, so no flaps. I'm looking at the original RAF 34, and it looks not too bad. But I do these things by eye, not science.

Any thoughts?
