Non-mirrored codes!!!

*** Updated with Stewart Nunn's version of Stag & JWC's new corrected wing.

Stag did the new shape, and JWC fixed the frame of the triangular window on the canopy and removed the warping. Steward Nunn added the non-mirror code 3dz. ***

My first Mosquito skin, I 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 offers very interesting ones in his "Variant Series" section, RedEyes specializes in Mosquitos for the P-38H slot, and P/O Prune has just released a conversion of the P-38H cockpit to the Mosquito-slot.

Thanks to JWC, Stag, and Stewart Nunn!

Hope you like it.
