That is an awesome looking mosquito.  Was it sprayed or brushed?

I am P... off. My camouflage scheme came from Squadron Publications Mosquito in action and the scheme colours are reversed in the illustrations. So back to the paint shop. AAARG!!!

PS I was hoping to finish it this year, however I doubt very much I will get it done.

In Harry Potter's word, presto change-o. Grey to green and green to grey.

Thank you Gordon. It did get to me. I have looked again and it seems the bomber version had the first scheme I applied. The Squadron pub also shows an outline of the bomber version. i should have done more research.

Nice job, Lou.
I would have photoshopped the new colors on ;)

Thank you Fraser. My photoshopping skills are not up to the task.

Painting done and decals started to be applied before the roundels just fell apart. I guess there are problems with 30 year old commercial decals. So back to the drawing board and do my own as usual. I did manage to save the walkways and tail flashes.

More headaches. My printer decided to stop printing. It says no black ink and won't be fooled by re-installing the empty one.
Off to Walmart tomorrow to see if they stock HP cartridges.

I am unable to get printer cartridges for my printer, sooooooo the Mosquito will have to rollover to 2022.
