Hello From Oklahoma

Welcome to the Forums & back to the Hobby .  Frank covered your question on Weekend kits.  They are the same plastic as the stanard kits but without the extra goodies and at a lower price.

to the forums!

As for your question, the "Weekend edition" kits advertised by Eduard are relatively simple kits to build, without all of the fancy photo etch parts and pre-cut masks for things like canopies.  They only provide one marking option, so that might limit you a bit unless you have other decals to use.

If you are looking for a relatively cheap kit to build that is easy to build, accurate, and easily available- the current generation of Tamiya kits are VERY hard to beat.  Their Spitfire, FW-190, ME-109, and P-47 kits are some of the best out there.
