Default beginner question

Hello, I’m new to this forum and I’m also new to the world of rc planes. I’m thinking of buying an electric RC plane preferably RTF. Due to my location, I would have to purchase the RC plane online. I don’t plan on buying a 2 channel then after that, 3 channel then 4 channel after I grow out of a 2 channel plane because I don’t really have much money to spend but I want to spend enough for 1 good model rather than buying another one if I grow out of it. I want a model that will keep me occupied for at least 2 years. The ones that I saw on websites that appealed to me the most were planes that were designed after real aircraft. I like the look of warplanes but I don’t know if I, as a beginner should be trying them. Is it ok? I would also prefer models that can take off by themselves rather than being hand thrown and a model that won’t break easily considering the fact that I’ll be learning to fly it by myself. I’m not sure what price range these are but since I’m looking for a beginner plane, it should be that expensive. What are my options here? I also had a hard time looking for online stores that shipped internationally. Any suggestions? Thanks.
