if I recall WWIIbirds is building a great planes Corsair, which is a bit on the small side to be adding alot of scale details to, its one of those kits you build to fly, and have fun with, not turn into a flying brick with a bunch of extra stuff.

learn how to fly a warbird and think about the next step in the progression, enjoy the little corsair fly it repair it if necessary, and use it to build up your skills, alot of those guys in the warbird, and scale forums have many practice planes under there belt, before there producing scale masters projects for sure.

also most of those planes are 65-100 inch wingspan planes weighing 10-35lbs so adding a little extra weight doesn't affect the flying charictaristics as much, as a 5-6lb plane would be with just a extra pound or 2 to it.

definatly read Tom Pierces threads he has a Dauntless, and a FW190 build worth checking out his detail work is top notch.
