Tornado, Galestorm, Monsoon (especially) - all keepers. Beautiful work indeed, Mr. Rowdy.

Superb work, looks very de Havilland Hornet-like, but more muscular.

Great looking machine indeed. That top view is impressive. I would like to try it with my latest drawing but it would probably be too big a task for now.

Rowdy, I think your Monsoon fighter bomber is absolutely exceptional for its sheer beauty. I want some for the 'Royal Canuckian Navy'. Other than markings, the only change I could think of was to more closely match the profile of the tailfin with that of the wingtips - for better or for worse -

I wonder how many Monsoons can a Majestic class light fleet carrier handle???

Nice! I have to say I quite like the squared off tail, and I appreciate the kind words :)
At a guess based on HMAS Melbourne's initial air group, I would say you could get up to 24 Monsoons onto a Majestic (though probably with little room for anything else). According to Wikipedia HMAS Melbourne carried 22 aircraft initially - 8 Sea Venoms and the remainder being Gannets - and two helicopters. The Monsoon fits roughly between the two in terms of dimensions and weights.

@Denodon - thanks, I would love to see some top views for your aircraft if you ever get to do any :)
