To light this:
get rid of your normal lights and get your HDRI levels into a ballpark range for this shot. I'm talking about ambient levels. So you should have no direct light only ambient. Try to get that to "sit" into the background first. It will be tricky as you are not using the HDRI for that background which would help a lot. If it takes a while to render then make 3 nurbs spheres one with a white ambient material, one with a mid grey and one with a dark grey. Use them for lighting and try to sit them in the scene before you start with the plane. I start every shot with those 3 balls and a consistent set of shaders. If you can get the balls right then it will be much easier to do the plane. I guess I should really get some tutes done on this kind of stuff... when this film is over I will
As for your uvs, why did you do them with a big seam right down the top middle of your model? Wouldn't it be better for you to have the seam along the wing edge where it's less noticeable? Just a thought.

go take a photo and try to put something into it... even a ball or 3 as I mentioned above. Don't worry too much about HDRI's to begin with. They're kind of cheating anyways

For taking the time to comment on my work, as a hobbyist, the easy bit is getting into modeling, followed by the painting, then you realise how hard it is to light / render stuff, the things that you thought just kinda 'happened' at the end, but boy is it technical!
I will certainly be trying the idea with the spheres, because im not on a course and dont have anyone pointing things out to me i think why didnt i think of that....six months ago.

just blur the shadow in your compositing app. you don;'t need more than that for softening the shadows. If you want to look into GI as a separate lighting technique then that's a different matter
GI isn't the be all and end all of CG lighting

Thank you all for your feed back on this, the difference between the first render and the last is genuinly down to the help i have had from everyone who posted, so cheers, please look out for paldavs lancaster soon, although it may start life more at home in the wip forum!
cheers
