Well Bullet I wouldn't be so hard on your self, just to show things in perspective I have included some work I did back in 2007...and yes this was the best I could do at that time...absolutely horrid.

The only thing your image lacks is specularity and some detailing ( bolted panels) I actually like the darks and lights you have going on there( meaning subtle shadowing near the landing gear).
And it sounds odd, but it is actually a good thing you don't like it that means you've got a sharp eye.
The only thing you've got to learn is the tool in this case Maya/Photoshop/Zbrush.

If you don't get what I mean try to see it like this:
Which constructionworker is more likely to grow in his job:
a- the one who knows how to use a hammer?
or
b- The one that knows how to build a house?

Somewhere in your mind you know that the render you've posted lacks something and honest enough to admit that to yourself, believe it or not but the disgrace of an image you see below was the image of perfection to me 3 years ago...I always get so excited about the stuff I make that I loose objectivity, so believe it or not but I am quite jealous that you stay objective, it sometimes takes me weeks to get an objective image of something I have just done
