I reckon jets are easier, followed by WW2 fighters, WW1 fighters, with WW2 bombers being the most difficult imho..
The basic shape of a jet or WW2 fighter might be easier but it's the detail that makes them difficult. The advantage of a bigger plane is that you can hone skills in shape and shading without having to worry about making a convincing rivet or lap joint. Those skills will come later if that is the way the artist wants to go.

Big planes such as the B-29 make nice canvases for markings, if like me, that is the main objective of the artwork. And E-B, I do like your metal sheen. Very convincing.
