Moony! I feel happy whenever you're commenting in my gallery!

more please

Good work as usual, I especially like how you work on the round surfaces to give more depth to your designs, though I do have some remarks:

- while it didn't strike me on the 727, the 707 wholly painted (engines & pylons, belly, wing fairing, ventral fin) looks a bit odd and maybe not 1970s-ish:

- in terms of era, I would argue that the font used, while nice, is a bit too modern;

- I'm really not sure what the regulation is in the US about registration fonts, but this one seems a bit too eccentric (though at this level of livery-making, it's really nitpicking )

Edge, you're mostly right. They don't look accurate for that time.

I have reasons, but I don't think they justify myself.

Overall, it's just about continuation to the next design (I did them backward from the current time), which I think will be more accurate and acceptable.

I'm going to review the designs again and see what I can tweak about them without sacrificing the continuation with the livery timeline.

- I'm really not sure what the regulation is in the US about registration fonts, but this one seems a bit too eccentric (though at this level of livery-making, it's really nitpicking   )

While I don't want anyone to quote me on it as I could be wrong, I don't believe there were any regulations in place about what font could be used for registrations. As long as the registration itself is legible, I think any sans-serif-y font could work.

Tweaks:

- changed font for title and registration.

- painted belly is not unknown in late 70's so I leave it like that.

- wings, pylons, and engines repainted with AFO VC-137C as reference.

Also tweaked fonts for 727-200.

I like this version much more, great work! The font especially is very 70s.

Nice thinking working backwards from your current identity, that's something I've used more than once
