Very nice additions, the Saab J 27 was an exceptionally good looking piston fighter.

Back in the day, when You were a beginner on this forum, I gave You - both asked for and unasked ;) - some advice on drawing curves (like on the fuselage contours), which since then You seemed to apply bit half-heartedly (though indeed with gradual improvement), but on that last drawing it seems like that advice was thrown out of the window. Are You sure that contours of J27 were meant to look like THAT?:

As much as I hate to say, it's the death of people like me for contours and curves. I remember a similar scenario with the Su-6s from last year, and it comes back to haunt me. Here below is what I utilized with your input and (at least) targeted the curvatures, as well as the source from which I based it from.

Much better now, except for that bottom tail, which (despite some cosmetic alterations) isn't much different.
Here's my take on the tail:

As a general rule (applied with common sense, of course), remember that during re-sizing to needed size, the source drawings tend to get deformed a bit (as their content need to be squeezed into smaller amount of "full" pixels). So during drawing it's actually unwise to literally follow them pixel-by-pixel too closely - after all, contours planes (or land vehicles or ships) are generally made of straight lines or fairly regular arcs/curves, so the point is to replicate these "actual" lines, rather than the pixels of the source.

Here's the two (both original and revised), and a third one with your bottom tail structure. I have to say, it looks real good.
