maybe just a mesh or a low poly render
are you doing this in nurbs or polys?
the paint is pretty but dont get ahead of yourself, if you make a flat grey model look good it will look that much better fully textured.

leave the paint until you have the body 90% done at least i would suggest

the scoops in the front look a bit jagged and not straight, the air damn could use a bit more extruding and precision work to make the model look like right.
