Looks good! The only weird thing is that the black line separating the rudder from the fixed part of the vertical stabilizier appears to disappear (sorry, unintentional pun) halfway down.
That was from the original (or at least The Kao's version). It looks like they turned it into a gray line and didn't realize that we use black lines for all 90-degree breaks. The rudder is much more prominent above that point, so I can see where there might be some confusion. I've fixed it, at any rate.

Hi, I just notice one small error with the Twin Otter drawing, I'm not sure whether this was added in by you or by the original artist. The small vertical "fins" that you see attached to the top and bottom of the horizontal stabilizer are only fitted during float operations. They provide additional directional stability along the yaw axis at low airspeeds to counteract the large surface area of the floats. It is not typical to have them fitted during operations on wheels.
That was The Kao's doing. I've edited them out of the wheeled versions.

I think the fuselage panel lines could be toned down a touch as well but I think that's more a matter of personal taste, as we often see them exaggerated in Shipbucket drawings when they'd be less apparent to the naked eye.
Eh, that's a standard palette used on many different blank aircraft drawings, which I've sort of standardized in my drawings. A few people also critiqued The Kao's drawing for having too low a contrast, so I'm going to err on the side of the common panel line exaggeration.

If you have any other Twin Otter-related questions please don't hesitate to ask, I flew them in northern Canada for a little over three years back when I was beginning my career in aviation. It's nice to see the mighty Twin get depicted here!
Thanks! I was just introduced to the Twin Otter two days ago, and I've really taken a liking to it. It's nice to meet a former Twin pilot. :)

Anyway, here are the updated drawings:

Yes, please continue to use the standard palette for blank drawings. People who make liveries can tone the panel lines down as they see fit.

Great work on B707-420!
Any chance for whole series, please? :)

All 320 models are on previous page :)
For all remaining models (707-120/-120B/138/138B/220 and 720/720B) I need to find sources first but it is my plan to do them sooner or later.

One thing I'd like to point out about the 320s is that it seems the 320B and C (and probably the 320 and 320Badv as well) lacked a "hump" on the outboard engine pylons, as shown by these photos:

320B:

320C:

If this was addressed earlier and there's something I haven't taken into account, my apologies in advance. Just thought I'd raise the issue after reading up on the 707 on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia & Universe -
The pictures you posted are all from the left wing, and the 707s uses turbocompressors instead of bleed air to power cabin pressurization system. Since the 707s only needed 3, Boeing decided that they will not put one on engine #1.

Side note - The Boeing 720 only has two turbocompressors, located on engine #2 and #3.

Clone answered it for me, from the side we draw them, nearly all 707s have turbocompressors on both engines.
The few exceptions were:
-the 707-120Bs
-nearly all pure cargo 707-320Cs
-the 720s
-all American Airlines 707s of any model, bet me on why....


More so, rejoyce! I've found what I was looking for, so the early 707s and the 720s will come in the next few days :D
