If you do not have a lot of experience building then follow ChuckW's advice and start with something small and simple. RCKen has a great build thread for a LT-40.
If you have built before then the TopFlite Corsair is a nice kit. It comes with precut wood, oil coolers, canopy, etc. It is not the size you are looking for but it was a nice first warbird build:

I built one that I use for display and was happy with how it turned out. I have built other models before but it was my first large warbird. Granted, I don't fly it, but you build the same way regardless. Pictures here:

Good luck!
