Fantastic work! :D

Just one nit-pick: could You verify captions for US aircraft? 4th from the bottom is 2-seater but is described as EE (so a 1-seater), and 2nd from the bottom is 1-seater but is described as B (so a 2-seater), which raises question if all of them aren't mixed up a bit.

And one though, but of more general nature: typically the windows/canopies were either shown as completely opaque, or the interior (cockpit, pilot's seat etc.) were shown just as a shade (outline). What You did, while impressive, raises my doubts if it shouldn't be outlined with contour (personally I'd just keep it a shade/outline) - but that's a question about limits of style and rather should be decided by Admins.

Thank you eswube! :)

About US aircraft, i'm afraid that was just two mistakes. Corrected! :oops:

About the windows canopies, this is an interesting debate. I started the drawings with the classic shade/outline, when Bordkanone75 posted three really nice Fiat G91, which i found really cool.
I decided to test this way of doing the cocpkit/pilot. Even the FD Scale style is not respected, I feel it adds a nice touch of details on that part of the plane.

51 pages. Got a lot done in 6 months, but now to reduce clutter (i think) :D

To start it all off, some Portuguese G.91s used during the Colonial War

On the windows thing, I appreciate the detail but I usually just do opaque or semi opaque windows(with pilot and other details silhouetted), partly for simplicity's sake and partly because I'm a stickler for consistency. That being said, good drawings are good drawings rules or not!

I personally prefer the new FD Scale canopy style you have used and think it should be allowed for upload ;)

But of course! Without innovation there is stagnation, so all styles are welcome in my opinion!

I've uploaded them even before I made the comment in question. :P ;)
