Yes, and the AM 1/48 Fw-190 is actually the Eduard kit… Oh those accursed model companies trading molds again! 
They are just to much for us mere morals [;)]
I find the Wingnut kits very buildable. The instructions are excellent, many pages of good diagrams and photos. The fit is very good too.
I “can’t” have a favorite manufacturer.
When I trimmed my planned collection down to “one of each Naval Squadron” I also locked myself into less than 100 specific aircraft types. And no one company makes more than about 10 or 20 of those types. Some only make 1, 2 or 3 US Naval aircraft types in 1/72. And for very many Aircraft, there is only one tooling by one specific company.
When I do run into more choices for any given aircraft, I do have a Favorite tooling,but, then the very next aircraft might take that list and reverse the order of preference. I also have to be open to not buying all injected plastic models, some Have to be resin kits or Vacuforms. (or even metal kits)
It is okay for me to be a “kit snob” for F4D Skyrays, choosing the Tamiya over the Airfix or Hawk,but, then if I want a Cougar or Tiger, those HAVE to be Hasegawa, If I want a T-2 Buckeye those have to be Matchbox/Revell. And if I want an O-1 Bird Dog, those have to be Airfix.
So, I fall right into the “best toolings in my scale” that is mentioned earlier in this thread,meaning I can’t bash the “uber-kits” or the “crappy Lindbergs”, any one might be on my shelf or in my stash.

Williams Bros. Are NOT junk. Maybe just not for beginners but it’s not fair to rip stuff on line if it’s not to your liking. Where else will you get a C-46?
These discussions rankle me because people mxke judgements based on their own abilities, without caveat.
i like Roden kits. I recently got through their big Felixstowe and was very pleased with the results.
That Tamiya Ford is a swell kit. I built the 1/72 at the same time as a A2D by Mach 2. I bought the 'ray cheap in order to swipe the seat for the prop job, but ended up making a copy which was fun. And the Skyshark is a nice model too.
The other thing that I think needs to be recognized is the bias against any of the “Shake and Bake” (or for you newer folks, the kits that are really well done, and thus get no respect from the ‘experts’ who think they are too easy) kits.
Let’s not forget that many times, when a newer member asks about a kit, their skill level is at a point where they DON’T have the skill set to deal with some of the speed bumps others of us take in stride.
A fresh returning modeler, or one who is starting from scratch, may very well be best served by the kit that doesn’t need a tube full of filler, 3 different AM resin and PE add ons to make into a serviceable replica. If we recommend the kit that is ‘perfect’ and scales to 1" of prototype dimensions, but is a pain in the @ss to get to paint stage, have we really helped?
Thanks for listening, Marty
LOL!! A WnW kit would be a breeze for you, Bish, especially after seeing that 0/400 you built.
Don, the fit can be almost too good at times, where the thickness of the paint alone in certain areas can drastically affect it. Don’t forget to mention their decals, the best OOB decals in the biz, and superior to many AM decals as well.
I find Williams bros kits a mix. Some are fairly bad as far as flash and fit, but they are always buildable. They make such neat subjects that no one else does, that for many subjects they are the only game in town. Their large scale engine kits are among their best kits, so don’t be afraid to tackle those.
O, I have got one eyed up. maybe this year I will get round to buying it.
And thanks, but you will make me blush [:$]
