Looks good so far.

The wings need to have more of a "teardrop" shape.

Bigger in the front and skinnier in the back.

I like the pipes coming out of the front. Makes the plane look real fast.

Good job.

It's looking good, a great cartoony feel. Looks like it should hanging on a string above a cradle. Maybe a couple more shots at different angles would help with suggestions, but from that angle, looks great.

well if you go back to blue, keep the glossyness where it is i think its pretty plastic.
