Title: 105 Squadron Mosquito Mk IX
Post by: Greebo on October 16, 2010, 02:37:49 AM: This is my skin of a 105 Squadron Mosquito Mk IX in the RAF night bomber scheme circa April 1944. The Mk IX was basically the same as the Mk XVI except it lacked the pressurized cockpit. Looking at the screenshots I may darken up the black colour a bit yet.

Personally I didn't realize it was black until I looked at the profile, then back at the screenies a second time. Just my opinion, if it's worth any to you :)
