1. (from the front) The wings look a little too curvy.

2. (from the top view) The wings look a little too broad.

3. What kind of plane is it? If you have a reference pic also, it would help to compare it. I could be wrong about the wings. user added image

Since this is a cartoony plane i might not put to much detail on this plane because i was thinking just to have it fly by the camera far away and blow somthing up.

I agree with dave. Even being a cartoon plane the curve of the wing looks a bit odd. It should be straight from the wingroot (against the fuselage) to the tip of the wing. It's hard to tell from the reference you posted because it doesn't have a front view but if you look around on the web you'll see that the p-36 has a straight wing (wikipedia has some decent photos). If you wanted to make a gull-wing (similar to the F4U Corsair) it would be straight from the wingroot to the point where it angles upward and then straight to the wingtip.

I might be biased though, having worked on planes for 4 years and being an avid plane-buff since I was old enough to care. user added image

The wings look correct in his low poly version (like a Corsair), but his smoothed version is too curved.

I meant curvy and I stand by that statement! If it's a chick plane, then it looks sexy. But if it's a death machine, then it's too curvey. user added image

Oh yeah, I didn't even notice those were missles! LOL!! Woops! user added image
