Thanks jabba!

Garlicdesign, nice work with the Lufthansa A340, but doesn't it need more grey on the rear section of the fuselage?

Great Herc's Caddaric - hope to see more variants too.

More regional aircraft, this time from Russia. I couldn't find as detailed reference drawings for this one as I could for the 728.

After seeing some of the great quality airliners posted recently, I thought I'd have a go.

So here is my first airliner, still preliminary so more details and DC-8 versions to follow...

Douglas DC-8-63

Ah, great work!

@Jabba
I'm not sure about the nose cone (cuve of the upper edge and of the side intakes).

Some cracking airliner additions here.

Drawing nose cones is hard in paint, sometimes the traces warp when re-sized and you have to alter things slightly (or a lot!) to make the cruves look less wonky. Even the bendy line tool in paint is sometimes next to useless in that regard.

I completely agree about getting curves looking correct in this format. It can take many attempts to get it looking good.

So here is an updated (and hopefully finished) DC-8-63. I have re-worked the engines and nose section.

And here is an early DC-8-32 powered by (I think) Pratt & Whitney JT4A-3 engines.

Looking good, jabba. Those engines and the nose look much better. I hope to see some with a bit of colour

Nice Airtrainers, DP.
