Not too bad.
Green is a little bright, but overall looks pretty good.

I used to do the same kind of thing for damage.
Something I found works really good was to use a #2 ball point wood burning tip to get bullet hits into the plastic and use a propane torch for burning.
Ball point tip on the burner makes the plastic push out from the hole just like a real hit and the torch (a pen torch, not a full size one) burns the plastic leaving scorch marks along the path of travel. The pressure from the torch keeps everything moving backward to increase the effect.

Again, very nice job.

S!


P.s. Hope to see you flying that online sometime so I can bring your fantasy to life... hehehehehe
