1. Get rid of the light box. It takes away from the model itself. You can achieve the same effect by simply placing a white shaded plane above it and render using Mentalray (and Im assuming u used some sort of GI in this render).

2. Use a bit of a higher/lower angle so we can see more of the plane. The front half looks interesting, but you loose detail past the missle turrets. What's on the back? What's underneath? does it have landing gear? Cause it looks like it's just floating there.

3. I also assume this is just to show off the model, but it's not always necessary to have it fully reflective like that unless it actually has one of those super-fancy high gloss custom paint jobs. And, if you are going to have it fully reflective, go with a color other than white. Again, you lose detail, its hard to make out shapes, and it's really bright when reflecting white light.

Textures would really make this puppy stand out too. Or is it supposed to be all white like that?

Good start. But could stand a bit more detail.
