Hm...
I think you should continue working on your ship before worrying about colours, you can think about that later  :-\
I'm still a newb around here, please be patient TT__TT

Looks like a cute little paper ship, in my opinion. Kinda cute. ^_^

However, the main cockpit window (and part of the ship?) seems to face an incorrect perspective.

Yeah, too many colors. Tone them down. (Too many isn't generally THAT frowned upon, but it's very common to use as little as possible to hone your skills.)

Also, try antialiasing the windows at first. I think the one closest to us is the one that seems most out of proportion. Also, it doesn't look very 'ship'-y. Give it a texture, some more depth to it (There is some, as is.), a few hidden engines or a trail that signalifies where said engines are..

in my opinion it does kinda look like a paper airplane.
try to give it more of a metallic looks, and some the generic space ship stuff.

You're pillow-shading. :( Look at that nasty banding effect you get. Try to break it up a little like I've done below.



I think I preferred the simpler shading in the previous version. How about adding more details details to it. Think about the ship's purpose. Is it a cargo ship? War ship? There are no visible guns or hatches anywhere. For instance, if you look at a space shuttle, it has visible seams along its center where the shuttle bay opens, and where the wing flaps are. Add something to it that tells us what it's for. Another thing you'll find on a space shuttle is a rocket nozzle. It doesn't have an open flame like your ship has. Looking at some pictures of existing space craft might give you some ideas, though they might be a bit less elegant than what you're after. :)
