Always interesting to follow your repaints, JK
I bet they had no difficulty finding eager crew for those missions.
Spartan bought quite a few Mosquitos in 1954 for $1,500 each... Spartan was a photo mapping service and in Canada, that required a lot of range. Their Mosquitos were modified to take large format cameras and required accommodations for a crew of three: pilot, navigator and photo technician.
I bet they had no difficulty finding eager crew for those missions.

Oh to have access to your work on Xbox. This is gorgeous and a fascinating piece of history to have represented.
