Sounds like we have something in common... scale warbirds. My favorite plane, of all time, is the 7AC Champ... 30%er in the making... but where warbirds are concerned, I prefer to get jiggy with it and do some challenging builds. Nothing expands knowledge like a challenge! My very first kit build, back in the late 80s, was a Byron F4U1A!! The most difficult kit that the LHS had. I spent plenty more time than most putting her together, but learned the in's and outs of doing things. Just completed a Boulton Paul Defiant (60 size) scale bird... challenging, and the manual is very incomplete as far as text explaining the procedures, but if you can train yourself to do what is not told of you, you'll make a great builder, and have fun doing it. This kit, as well as a couple other "rare" birds is available through FlyBoy Models. Try it out.
