Tiger skin! arrrrr :)
I imagine that wearing lots of gold chains, an oversized "$" shaped ring and a biatch on your lap is mandatory to fly it :)
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

Right, I forgot, tigers don't have wings.
I meant Leopard (wait, do they have propellers?)

Beautiful detail shots - I hope HTC is looking at these for their update of the C.205!

Keep em coming, and remember to do the "We're not worthy!" bow when you get to the G.55   ;)

Gianlupo, what is the history on this a/c? It has Allied markings.

those are not allied markings, they are Italian Co beligerent Airforce roundels, so I guess yes "allied" markings, the reason for this is that when italy surrendered in 1943 the countrys forces pretty much split in half, those who were with Mussolini and Fascism, and those who were with the allied side, the fascists, were called the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, and there roundel/ colors are represented on the G.55 that Gian posted in another thread, these are the colors of the Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana, or italian co beligerent airforce ( sided with the allies)
but is important to note that these two airforces never encountered eachother in the air, due to the allies wish to prevent an italian civil war
