The upcoming Mosquito FB.VI has RCAF markings.

Any others on the way, or already implemented?

scooby,

There aren't any currently in AH.

HTC doesn't tell us ahead of time what the markings will be on future aircraft. I'm not even sure that they know until they decide to do an aircraft.

You also have to consider that there aren't any RAAF or RNZAF markings in AH yet.

May I suggest RAAF markings if a P-40 "Kittyhawk" is modeled. They played a BIG role in the desert. I'd like to see them so honoured (even though I'm a Canadian).

Good looking Mossie by the way. 416 RCAF particularly likes them from our WarBirds experiences although they had BETTER be more rugged than the balsa wood ones of WB.

Thanks.  :D

That is one beautiful sight.  Counting the days to get in that cockpit and fly NOE.  What weapon systems will be available?  Will there be ship busting cannon?

Henning,

This is a Mosquito FB.MkVI Series 2

It has 4 20mm Hispano MkII cannon with 150 rounds per gun and 4 .303 Browning machine guns with 500 rounds per gun.

Ordinance wise it can carry 2 500lb bombs in its bomb bay and 2 500lb bombs under its wings or 8 60lb rockets under its wings.

The Mossie with the 57mm Molins gun was the Mosquito FB.MkXVIII.  The 'Tse-Tse'. The FB.MkXVIII is a modified FB.MkVI Series 2, same engines, with the 20mm cannon removed. I don't know about its ordinance load.
