I have excellent hand skills and do build free flight aircraft, though painting is a struggle. So put me down the correct path please. Doc

In general, for a WW1 kit you can't go wrong with any of the later Eduard or Roden releases for ease of assembly and detail. The really early Eduard kits can be molded a bit of the rough side and most (all?) of the Roden kits will have a minor fit problem here or there but nothing that can't be recified and hasn't been discussed here on the Aerodrome.
Also being from LI, let me suggest you take a ride over to Bay Shore Hobbies on Sunrise Highway and Saxon Ave. They have the best selection of WW1 kits in all scales that you can get locally. They stock both mainstream and smaller run kits, aftermarket decals and resin and do get all of the new releases asap. Be prepared to spend some time as the kits can be stacked two deep.
Salute,
Steve
