Do not wish to discourage, but you need more airtime. Build the FT Spitfire and fly that until destruction. Build and fly the FT Mustang and Corsair. They aren't real big, but teach flying skills that you will require for the bigger more easy and costly to crash things that come later.
Then... Find an RC swapers day, RC flea market close to you and bring money.
I was at one in Dayton last weekend and those guys were clearing out the garage for more and selling air frames at very reasonable prices. The auction after was a like stealing.
