With all the hard work you have undertaken lately James, did you do your drawing off the real thing, having just bought one?
Sadly not!
I'm not planning on drawing every variant of the HS.125 family so this should be a good starting point for the early Viper-powered models and the Dominie, though some slight changes in aerials and window layout will be required.
I'm hoping to catch up on some unfinished works I've had laying around for too long.

Nice that finally someone did the venerable Chimpunk. I'd say that given it's popularity it begs for more paint schemes.
That said, I have some remarks about these drawings: the engine (it's "chin") looks IMHO bit massive, but perhaps that's just me. I'd also change the canopy frame a bit, as now it looks like it ended together with the glass panels. And last but not least I'm not convinced about shape of the tail, as it's not showing that there's kind of "fin" in front of the vertical stabilizer and instead suggest that fuselage is much thicker than actually was. (I'd also make horizontal stabilized just 3-pixel thick instead of 4)
Yes, I think Eswube raises some good further points about the Chipmunk drawing.
Every time I see it I think something is not quite right, it just doesn't look as I would expect. I think Eswube and nailed down why now.
Drawing canopies on small aircraft like this can be tricky at first.
Nice work Laforest on the Lama.
I would go with the version at the top-left.
As a general rule in SB and FD we use three-pixel thick for main tubular structures and single-pixel for internal bracing. It generally looks better than single pixel. As you can see on the right-hand drawings, the tail looks far too thin and spindly with just one pixel lines. The other drawings on the left with the three-pixel tail bracing look good but the angle of the line has an annoying 'step' on some of the sections and just doesn't look as clean as the top-left drawing which looks spot on to me.

Lama looks great!
I agree with Hood that the top-left version looks best.
IMHO I'd make the skids just 3-pixel thick instead of 4.
One thing I have doubts are main rotor blades. Namely that they are just two-pixel thick without black contour, but I'm aware that they wouldn't look too good, so I'm not insisting.
Btw. there already is a FD Scale Aircraft 15 thread, so I suggest to continue further discussion there. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=8036

Hi, thanks, i made the skids with 4 so i can include shade and the screws, moving to FD Scale Aircraft 15, se you there
