.. no doubt. Its a great low poly model! How many polys you have there? 500? If its lower than that than awesome! Anyways, are those missles low poly? I think not.. lol.

without the missiles it's about 600 faces, but i think i could easily cut it down to below 500.

If it's going to be more "top-down with a little 3/4-view", then you might have to do a little more detailed mapping.
For that I would suggest watching Craigs UV texturing tut with his Bunny character, as that will give you a great jump on your mapping approach

Try to keep the wing and fin proportions different to the that of a plane.
My best advice would be for u to search for spaceship references. Im not too sure what style ur after but looking at some sci-fi films will give u a better understanding of craft structures. That and imagination will help u no end
Nice work...keep at it

I was wondering if it would be possible to just use a shader, or is a texture a better choice?

By the way, it will be done from a top down perspective, but I'm also going to need to render shots of the ship tilted to either side.
