I built a few back in my 1/48 days - the TC Resins Short 184 and Felixstowe F2a, some JGMT stuff, some Jaeger Resins Axis 2-seaters.
Haven't built one for a while, apart from the AlleyCat Bristol M1c, but the main thing I remember is using Monofilament thread through wings as a structural component to keep the heavy wings true, especially the landing wires.
Not much different from plastic, except use a razor saw for cutting and wear a mask. CA glues well and also fills air bubble holes.
I wouldn't hesitate if the subject appealed.
My 2p FWIW
