Looking good so far Nir. I love the bottom plane reflection. Not familiar with the plane...but on the nose (behind the black tip) all the way to the beginning of the cockpit window, is a crease. If the crease is supposed to be there, then disregard what I just said. user added image

Thanks but there is no crease - it is due to the sampler info node I used for the shader.

the aircraft is an old Israeli developed jet carrier - its newer models (called Astra) were later purchased by Gulfstream.
there are great images here:

Looks good Nirsul, but I disagree about the reflective plane underneath. Unless you're using it to show details, of which there are none (yet), then it just kinda throws the image (at least for me).

Keep it going. Looking forward to seeing the progress of it. user added image

I also agree with the comment about the window frames, they could do with being pushed out a bit more.

I also agree (I'm very agreeable today! user added image

) with what dave said about the reflection. It's raytracing for the sake of it and the floor of an aircraft hangar wouldn't be shiny shiny it would be dull and oil stained.

It's got a good shape so far though, is it subdiv or poly only?

I know that IAI was sold to Gulfstream in 2000.

Thanks for the kudos but I have the lousy 3 views and photos so not manyt details are there.
