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?)

Then, it needs to have seen combat.

That's an Allison-powered bird. Not appropriate to skin on our in-game models.

The USAAF used a few in North Africa too. But neither, and nobody, used them painted like that.

Said that way I would agree but I wanted it said this plane certainly saw combat. The dazzle scheme was a test.
