First, a small addition to the Il-18's - the 1946 prototype of the Il-18 airliner - a distant relative of the 1950s turboprop aircraft.
Followed by series of drawings of one of the most ellegant airliners ever - Ilyushin Il-62. First flown in 1963, when (with a capacity of around 200 passengers) it was World's largest jetliner. It entered scheduled service in 1967. Besides 5 prototypes, 94 Il-62 were produced, followed by 193 modernized Il-62M from 1974. Production of this airliner continued until mid-1990s, although today only a handful remain in service.
Note: There's a serious shortage of decent side-drawings of Il-62, therefore I was very much dissatisfied with my previous rendition of this plane. Therefore what You see now is a total redraw. However, because sources I could find still leave something to be desired, I can't say I'm perfectly happy with the result either.

Beautiful work Eswube. I should really get around to doing the Il-18, iL-62, An-10, An-26 and An-72 in Sieranavia livery whenever I can find the time to do them
