This is mainly model car forum, but I read FineScale Modeler Magazine which is more into other types of models. I have seen reviews of that brand of aircraft models and they usually get good reviews.

Beckham, I'd recommend Three Websites for Model Airplane reviews.

All have huge lists of already completed reviews and add more weekly.

1. Modeling Madness. Scott Runs the site. They have reviews on Everything. Planes, Tanks, Cars, Spaceships..... Decent Reviews with good photos.

2. Cybermodeler. Used to be much more active than it is now. Owner got sick during COVID, and the site does not update like it used to. Great Review Index of thousands of kits.

30 Hyperscale. Run out of Australia, Brett Green the owner has a YouTube Channel too.

If it is this 1/48 scale kit..

It is a large, complex kit, and like all biplanes will require care in making sure that all 4 wings are glued to the fuselage perfectly square. Lots of very small parts, and fiddly to assemble, but will make an impressive, Large model when done.

If it is not this kit, post a pic or better description and I be happy to help you research it.

The IPMS USA forum might be worth a look at too for aircraft related kit information.
