I've heard good things about the Skyshark kits. They are fairly simple builds, and fly well. For a first warbird, I've heard a lot of people say that the TF P-47 (1/8thscale) is one of the easier flyers because of the large wing area, but a more complicated build than the Skysharks. I am still working on my first warbird build, a TF Spitfire. I've been working on it off and on for over a year (mostly off). It's been lots of fun.
