Nice job 
I have only noticed those pairs of lines across the engine nacelles thanks to your nice clear pics , which I also now see are on some of the others, what are they for ? & should they be on all of them ?

Probably so that the gunner in the turret didn't shoot his own props off.

Ron is correct, they are to indicate the maximum forward firing point for the turret gun to avoid the props. Not all Anson's fitted with a turret carried them, including those designated as gunnery trainers! As ever you have to check your references when modelling an individual aircraft.

That's useful info , thanks Ron & Rich
It would have been brighter to fit a limit on the mounting, or a riser like Lanc mid upper.
I can just imagine a SGT Gunner trainee, first time, nervous, rattatat .. ooops ! = AC2 brush leaner.

That is simply STUPENDOUS Rich, a fantastic result with what I think is a pig of a kit. Surely Rich is THE Master of Modelling?
