*** Updated with Stag & JWC's new corrected wing - it now looks like as it should! Stag did the new shape and JWC fixed the frame of the triangular window on the canopy and removed the warping ***

My first Mosquito skin, changed the camouflage pattern on the fuselage, changed the cockpit layout and altered the tra file accordingly. Also new yellow  propellor tips and markings, of course. The spinners on the Mosquito are a nightmare for me to skin, it's difficult for me to do them with my usual technique - first time I came along a spinner which is on 4 different parts on the pcx!

I did it primarily as "unflyable", so no wingviews etc. - if you want flyable Mosquitos,
Serb ( http://www.emucities.net/leisure/serb/ ) offers very interesting ones in his "Variant Series" section!

Hope you like it.
