@eswube, made a few tweaks to the probe, canopy and leading edges - how's that?

Probe looks ok, as for the rest - here are few suggestions which You could use or not. ;)

Nice additions guys.

The Valiant certainly caught my eye. I keep on thinking about drawing the HP Victor at some point and that would finish the trio.
I would say go with eswube's suggested edits, his canopy especially looks better as at the moment the windows look too big.

@DP, A definitely looks best. And now, incorporating some of Eswube's suggested shading tweaks and changes to canopy glazing:

Caproni Ca.101 Italy, Hungary & Nationalist Spain*:

Image

*The picture showing a Ca.101 in (rather odd) nationalist markings appeared in Purnell's 'Bombers, 1919-1939'. Actually no any information about Ca.101's in Nationalists Air Force. Probably this profile is fiction.
Currently working on:
  • Fiat G.50
    Breda Ba.64/65/75
    Dornier Do.17/Do.215
    Heinkel He.79
    Junkers Ju.52
    Junkers J.I
Repainting:
  • Grumman F4F Wildcat/Grumman G-36
    Caproni Ca.135bis
