I know that the 3D model is being redone so perhaps the skins will need to be redone as well, however I think there are two things that should be looked at on the Mossie.

Firstly there's the roundels on the top of the wing, where the red centre circle is noticeably larger than it should be (which I think is a known issue and one that it shares with the default skin of the Spitfire).

Here's a screenshot of the upper wing from the latest 'New WWII Propeller Technology' video:

Compared to the WW2 Type B roundel of this Mosquito:

The confusion seems to stem from the use of a post-war low vis roundel also used by the British Army:

In addition to this, the Mosquito in the latest video also includes a roundel on the underside of the wing:

However it seems that most (all?) WW2-era RAF Mosquito FBVI (and XVIII) had no underside roundels, for example:

Fuselage ones could use some love as well with white ring being just too thick (based on modern sloppy restorations I presume, just like in wing roundels case)...

While you're at it, you forgot that the black and white stripes are too neat and clean...
They were put on in a rush overnight - my RAF ground crew granddad said he was up all night doing it.
