Beautiful. Well done.

Very nice work as always.
Perhaps the main tyre is a bit too soft though and again the aliasing is very strong.

Have attached the same picture, now without sharping after downsizing. No aliasing, but as written in the Ju 88 thread I think it looks tarnished.

Main tyre really looks a little bit to soft

The outlines look a lot better without sharpening. I assume you work in layers? If so, select the plane from the background, contract the selection by say 4 pixels and feather by say 2 pixels. Then apply sharpening (and use "Unsharp Mark" with a radius of 0.2 or 0.3 max - not "Sharpen"). This will keep the outlines as they are, yet boost the detail inside the profile.
