I think it needs much more detail on the skin.  In the second picture, I can't even see the seams on the skin sections.  Second, the nose art needs to be better defined and up the color saturation so the colors aren't so muted.

My $ .02...

Well, maybe its just the pics you posted, but, for example, the one with the bomb bay doors open--there's no detail visible on the entire underside of the aircraft (in your picture).  For whatever its worth...

I see a whole lot of detail on the underside in that pic on my screen... panel lines, rivets, etc.

On the wings, yes.
Check the outer side of the bomb-bay doors.

Coprhead,

Your skinning skills have improved quite a bit the past few years. As far as details, you got most of it down. Engines look good, wing panels and weathering looks good, flap surfaces look good. The thing I see missing in your screenshots are the tail surfaces. We need an up close shot. The panel lines and rivets on your fuselage looks too faint. Bring them out a bit more. Also, the noseart looks too faint as well. Put a bit more color in them, or turn down the transparency a bit. The noseart, IMO, should look vivid against the bare metal finish. Exterior bomb bay doors seem to lack some detail as well. May want to go back and check those.

I also forgot. Check the very leading edge of the engine nacelles. There looks to be a band of straight bare metal finish without any weathering and other details. You can see them as they are right next to the air intake scoops.

Looks great! Do you have any photos or profile pictures that you could share with us? Would help with making some comparisons before submitting. :salute

Nose art looks much better.  Bomb bay and gear doors in the second picture still look a little plain...
