I believe the best KIT idea would be the Curtiss Hawk, P-6 and F-11C, B2FC in Kit form, with engine and landing gear configuration optional to the builder. There were many configurations and operators, so no two would have to be alike. Wings in wood, with fuselages in metal. Engines would have to be optimised from current available powerplants. A highly significant type that is all too rare..
of course...
Heinkel He 51, Hawker Hind and CR-42's could follow, with sanctioned "games" to be held like aerobatic competitions, but pursuit being the object. Laser kills being recorded, corrected for realworld deflection...ect.. Wouldn't that be fun?
Monoplanes such as the P-26, A5M Claude ect..would go well with the I-153 and I-16's and then P-36's !
go get your pilot's cert...
