Started life as a Do-217

I promised to give my hands a rest but couldn't resist this one. I've scabbed on a new nose with a thimble radome, Mosquito wings and she's going to have the rear gun turret and guns from a B-25:

The cockpit canopy has been redesigned and will have the twin .50 cal. turret from the B-25. Rear view:

I wanted her to have a high wing loading for permanent low altitude ops so I angled the wings up slightly, like later Marauders, for better handling at low speeds. YES!! will be a floatplane too

Sounds like rum luck. I'll be waiting to see this build continue.
