Welcome back! Folks returning to the hobby after real life caused a pause is a very common thing.

Regarding the Naval aircraft theme...I built a Tamiya 1/32 Corsair earlier this year. A VERY high quality kit that I cannot over recommend. Only negative thing I'd say is that building it with wings folded gave me trouble, but the fault was probably mine not with the kit. There are a few different versions, from birdcage to late-war, I chose the -1A variant.

Here's detail of the kit, I find that looking at the instructions before buying is very helpful.
