Although Wikipedia isn't exactly the most scientific and reliable source in the world, it's sufficient for most "everyday" purposes, and in the article about CT-114 Tutor it states that these aircraft were 9.75m (or 32ft) long, while Yours is around 14m (or about 46ft) long, meaning it's horribly mis-scaled.
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CT-114_Tutor )

Additionaly, I'd say that the way You drawn the engine intakes makes them look just like some flat panel lines on the fuselage instead of something geometrically extending (and having shape worth shading) from the fuselage.

Is very nice to see all these new additions but the key message to all newbie FD scale artists is, check the length stats very carefully. Is it overall length? Is it including nose probes and tail pipes? Make sure you know what yours sources are saying, check several sources (not just wikipedia). And don't forget the conversion is 22.093 pixels per metre. You might think the 0.93 is nothing to worry about and round off to 22 pixels, but beware as the size difference soon increases to something very noticeable!

Nice job on the Blackjack, but for some reason its looks too small to me, the Tu-160 is alot bigger than any other bomber.

Bad cop time? :oops:
If the 54,1m figure for the TU-160 length is correct then it should be 1.195 pixels long in FD scale. Currently the drawing is 1.109.

This length I remember for Tu-160, from aviation magazine (54,1 m long by 55,7 m wingspan).

Today I bring you a quaint little aircraft, which was built and flown but not accepted into service.

Of course your opinion and feedback is most appreciated.
