Swedish airforce used Mossie, along with Mustang (called J-9) spit21 etc, also Ju86 and our own Swedish designed planes, j21 and j-22, even Italian Caproni was used (swedish pilots called them equivalent of kinder-egg because something odd happened every flight)

A21

the lower one looks like the illegal child of a P39 and a P38.  :D
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

+1 I WANT THIS! The super heavy nose would make fighter operations very tough but what a great tool for buff hunting and tank busting!

The gun mechanism and ammo is in the front of the bomb bay. It does not unbalance the plane at all. It will be a slightly heavier VI in term of performance. Slightly is a relative term of course for a large fighter to begin with. Mossie XVIII met LW planes numerous times and fought quite well.
