Im currently gathering the parts to put a quarter scale Douglas Dauntless together which will be over the weight threshold so will be registered prior to commencing the build, which will be a new venture for me. Prior to this, I have a Dave Clarke third scale SE5a to build so no mad rush. As a small...
