@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. ;)

(the line on the leading edges of both wing and tail stabilizer doesn't look particularly pronounced on photos, though maybe I'm wrong)

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*:

*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.

The Valiant looks better now. Nice work.
