Pretty good fatboy!
As you do more of them you will get much better at creating your own lighting on the planes.
Try taking screenshots with all shaders turned off, so its just the flat texture of the aircraft. Its much easier to make lighting to match the background.
Taking one of mine for example.

The P-51 originally started off completely flat and had no depth from the lack of shaders i used when taking the screenshot. Then i put it on the background and edit all the fixes to the plane (aliasing if its there and making parts of the plane rounder and making the prop) Then do the editing to reflect the background. Since the lighting was very hard but had a bloom i tried to put that effect into my p-51.
Its hard to know how light will reflect off the surface of the plane but after many many practice shots and hours of tickering you will get it.
good luck!
