Of course if you were really clever, you'd put them on a tailhook or spoiler key and move them in or out when required....just sayin' like..

Always liked the look of F86's in RAF service We only had them for 2 or 3 years while we waited for the Hunter. This is Kirk Olssons model with a Frank Safranek paint, there's a few by Hans Janssens also
There are also four packs of repaints from Andy Nott which basically cover all the RAF squadrons. The beauty of Kirk Olsson's Sabre is that he gave us both slatted and hard wing versions, opened up all sorts of options; with these models, and those from Section8, we are more than well served in the Sabre department.

I don't really know why, but the Avro Anson by Dave Garwood is one of my long time favourite models. Perhaps it is the crew, which is very nicely modelled and tells you a story. There is one thing I don't really like about this model, which are the colours. Especially the almost terracotta brown for the dark earth has often been one of the reasons for me to leave this model in the virtual. Years ago I tried to repaint the model, but I didn't have the skills to do it.
Although I still don't really have the skills, I now do have enough experience to do create a simple paintkit, and to create new textures closer to the colours I normally use for the standard early RAF land scheme.
It is an Anson from 321 (Dutch) squadron RAF which was formed from personnel of the Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service, who had escaped to the UK after the German invasion of the Netherlands. Together with 320 Dutch squadron they flew flew coastal and anti-submarine patrols with Avro Ansons from July 1940 until January 1941.
Is there somebody who can repair the head lamp?

According to scasm source... it's missing the material list...
A little reworking of one of the paints that comes with the Warbirdsim P51 ; and you get OC 133 (Polish) Wing, RAF, personal mount, as pictured at Coolham on wiki
Stanisław Skalski, DSO, DFC & Two Bars (27 November 1915 – 12 November 2004) was a Polish aviator and fighter ace who served with the Polish Air Force and British Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Skalski was the top Polish fighter ace of the war and chronologically the first Allied fighter ace of the war,[1] credited, according to the Bajan's list, with 18 11/12 victories and two probable. Some sources, including Skalski himself, give a number of 22 11/12 victories.He returned to Poland after the war but was imprisoned by the communist authorities under the pretext that he was a spy for Great Britain. While in arrest he was tortured and then, in a show trial, sentenced to death on April 7, 1950. Skalski refused to ask for clemency but after his mother's intervention with the president of communist Poland, Boleslaw Bierut, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He remained in prison until 1956 when a court overturned the previous verdict. After the "Polish October" and subsequent liberalization and end of Stalinist terror, he was rehabilitated and rejoined the Polish armed forces. In 1972 he was moved to inactive service and in 1988, on the cusp of fall of communism in Poland he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general.

Huub, from what I understand/guestimate/etc from pictures and diagrams of Annie is that the nose light was either removable or folded to leave a small circular window, there are photo's I have seen with just a small window in the nose.
After a quick schmooze around, I noticed that the photos of REAL aircraft with the light in the nose do not seem to have them in the port wing. Those that do have the wing lights have the window. There are also a good few interior shots showing the nose as a window. mmmmm. The lights in the wings do have a texture applied.
