Drop Ship WIP

Here's some pics of my Tau'ri dropship (the Firefly, gunship, Tau Orca Mix)....well its only the troop compartment at the moment, this ships should be able to fit in a Deady hanger, if not, I'll guess I'll make a special carrier.
Basically the function of this ship is to drop marines onto planets (without stargates or far away from them) will also be able to carry small vehicles (ie. MALPs, Warthogs, Quadbikes). The ship itself will have only a small crew(probs 5 at most) for piloting, navigation gunners etc. plus the marines. Designed to be a VTOL ship with rotating side engines (a la firefly/Orca), both atmospheric and space capable. Minimal weapons, basically a pair of manually operated dual-railguns (SW gunship), 4 point-defence railguns and smoke launchers(cover when landing).
Hope to finish this soon, but is very first 3D ship (only other thing I have done is a cabinet design for my A level tech) so pointers and C&C if possible please.
