Re: Braving the depths.....
Not only are Supah and Jesters 100% right, but I'd also add that a good-looking profile isn't necessarily 100% realistic. If you look at that photo (which I think is fantastic), you'll notice that the 109 really has a very sleek look to it. A perfectly accurate line drawing will NOT render that so well IMHO and give the Emil a blunt look, which it doesn't deserve.
Another classic example is the P-51D. Some profile artist (can't remember who) created profiles based on the engineering blueprints and most people think his drawings are wrong and don't look like the real mccoy, when he's the only one doing it (technically) right.
If your intention is to make a perfectly accurate drawing, shapes- and colour-wise, chances are you'll fail. If you're trying to make an artistic representation (which does NOT exclude some precision and accuracy), you'll end up with something nice IMO.
