Is that a DB powered Mossie?

Yep, although it was never made. Finns were looking to produce 40-60 Mosquito-copies. FiAF hoped that Germany could provide couple of war booty Mosquito's for inspection. If the plan would have somehow materialized the Finnish "Mosquito-Vihuri" would have been a glass-nosed fast bomber version, probably close to a B.Mk.IV with DB605s instead of Merlins.

First you need the P-51 with 2 20mm cannons before someone can make a skin for it.  (P-51A?)
