My focus is not modeling thus my modeled airplane is rather simple.
Next step is texturing the model.

Texturing Finished

Texturing is done using Photoshop and its pretty simple but interesting for the first time.

Thanks to bullet1968 to consider my work.
I'm a little busy about my job these days.
I created an sky full of clouds around my model and did some motion path animations through it.
The result is not too bad but face of my model is not attractive enough(its something like a lazy dog).
Currently i'm thinking about the face of my plane and texturing and rigging parts.
I want to my model be a little bit funny and exhibit some emotions throughout flying.

If you are not used to playing with the render setting just change the quality to production.............dave

Edit:to fix the zig zagging (anti-aliasing)

New Changes

I slightly changed the face of my character to be more funny.
Playing with his lips and eyes and applying some rigging work.
The result is this.
If you have any idea about the texture of my character please tell me.

To do this lips motion I created a curve to control them, then created Cluster Deformers and adjust their weights using Paint Weight Tool.

Gathering all works and creating final results is really tough.
I have many elements in the scene: airplane, facial animation,
path animation, lights, cameras, clouds, sun ...

Environment

I used the default sky and sun created in Environment Lighting tab of Render Settings.
And create a nice looking clouds using 3D Container of Fluid Effects.

Final animation is under rendering, editing and mixing process.
My preview animation is a little rapid thus I must change overall
length of animation and render it again.
