Nice skin! If I may give you that little of advice I can give as a beginner myself - if you want to create "realistic" skins (instead of glow-in-the-dark airplanes), try to stay away from the bright colours. Use the void in different ways - I always cut out the non-gray areas and put them in a separate, otherwise transparent layer on top of all other layers, the use the "multiply" mode for the void layer without those elements. This helps you avoid things like what you can see in the area (504,861)-(602,895) in your skin - the inside of the cockpit being completely blue. And it also helps in increasing the weathering effect - using a "normal" layer with the void and 50% opacity doesn't feel right, neither does a color layer with the same opacity.

I have attached a link to my template, perhaps it might help you if you are using Gimp.

Keep up your efforts!
