1st project in a while

Hello folks. I am thinking about getting back into building aircraft models. It has been a few years since I built a plastic model, I have built a couple of balsa and paper ones though.

I have decided I want to build a 1/48 scale P-47, probably a razorback version. I am trying to decide between a Tamiya and Hasegawa but would be consider others. Any comments on either one? I also thought I'd try to add either (or both) PE and/or resin details if necessary. The model would probably be set in a static ground mound (canopy open, gear down, maybe even gun bays if I am feeling ambitious). Any comments? Should I try something else first before adding PE and resin?

Thanks.
