Anyone out there able to tell me what the two little flip up doors on the wings, upper side, just out from the wing root and towards the trailing edge are used to indicate? Is it the flaps extended or the undercarriage? I would like to display them open, more detail, but would like to know their actual use first. Have cut the flaps away and will scratch them back on in the down position. These little indicators open just about at the hinge area of the flaps so they could be for them or the undercarriage. I am assuming they are for the undercarriage but assuming can get you in trouble. Went through the Spitfire restoration factory drawings but the little buggers aren't shown. Anyone that can expand my knowledge on this subject, sure would appreciate it. Thanks, Swede
