the top-flite has gotten good reviews, including here from RCU, I'm also wanting a 182 and this would probably be the one I get. there's also a build thread on here about it

I reviewed the TF 182 for RCU magazine and it is one of the nicest planes ever - both assembly and flying

Yes the TF 182 Arf is a great flying plane and looks are pretty good to scale.
The antennas and wings struts are over size but look good enough. Forget about the interior kit and if you wnat to add a pilot he is going to need some modification to work.
The rudder linkage has some slop if built the way they suggest I added a blob of thickened epoxy at the base of the stab where the torque rod touches to make a bearing of sorts.
Too easy flying and a great first plane with flaps.
