Because on the Actual VC-25A, the doors are barely visible, and I wanted to replicate that on the drawing. Its the same thing Caddaric79 did the with VC-137.
That was a rhetorical question. And the doors and luggage hatches on Caddaric79's VC-137's while indeed not black, they
do very clearly stand out. Yours are outlined in exactly the same shades as all other panel lines.
SB/FD drawing style has been deliberately made in certain (more-or-less clearly) defined
convention, rather than literally "as it exactly is" in regards to things like colors and shades, representation of certain shapes etc. Real panel lines and rivets are even less visible, to a point where - at this scale - in some 90+% of cases there's (if we were to apply Your argument about visibility of VC-25A doors) completely no need to include them on the drawings at all - after all, in reality the panel lines are razor-thin, and on FD-scale drawing they are repesented by a furrow 4,526 centimeters thick (not mentioning that those in SB-scale Planebucket are whooping 15,24 centimeters thick) - and yet we draw them.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for clarifying. I went through and made the doors two shades darker than they were, so they should stand out more.
Boeing VC-25A "Air Force One" - Edited
Also finished a Civil conversion B-17G, based on Jabba's old drawing, I tried to spruce it up a bit. I'm also currently working on making the B-17 Family.
Boeing B-17G Trans World Airline(s)
After World War II, Jack Frye, President of TWA wanted a plane that they could use to explore new air routes around the world. In 1946, with all of TWA's Boeing 307's being used in the war by the Army Air Force, and having accrued a lot of flight hours, he opted to purchase a low hour B-17G that had been flown from the factory to storage. After being refitted at the Boeing Plant in Seattle, Frye set out to on a world tour to forge new relationships and find new routes for TWA to fly.
For reasons not found through my research, the Aircraft was lettered "Trans World Airline" omitting the S from the name.
