I am looking at some of the Jedidiah Star Kits
https://www.jedediah-starr.com/closeup.asp?cid=39&pid=3445&offset=0 These are kits rather than a bunch of components like TOW and some others. The Lyman Great Plains Kit by Pedersoli is good and very easy to assemble. This in kit form would be a good place to start,

I am with the others that if you just get a parts package you might be in for a frustrating experience. The wood part is easy for me as long as I don't get in a hurry or have too many beers while working on it. Some of the metal work can be tricky especially on a flint lock, it all has to work together and you won't know if it is right until fully assembled and then it might be un-fixable.
I am also considering one from Dunlap Wood Crafts but theirs is a little more on the side of a box of components rather than a kit per say.
