From me at least I'd say the following.

Wing root shading, ditch the black line for a dark grey one.
Propeller, I imagine again dark grey rather than the same as the fuselage?
Gun ports, probably slightly lighter than what they are now.
Underside shading perhaps a shade or two lighter?

Otherwise it seems perfectly reasonable :)

Hello again!

Since the points criticized by Blackbuck are identical with the way I did them with my G.55, I think it's a matter of personal taste, particularly as there seems to be no fixed style guide for FD planes, especially blanks; I actually think uniform colour for every parts including the propellers helps with later recoloring.

What I'd check with is the shape of the fuselage forward below the exhausts (looks angled rather than curved) and directly behind the antenna mast (looks... well, odd) and the trailing edge of the fin (curve could be more streamlined). Otherwise, fine plane. Maybe I nick it for my AU and fit it with a Hispano-Suiza 12Z engine ;) .

In fact i used the G.55 as a basis on which colour pick, how to draw some parts and so on. And painted it silver colour because once it's correctly drawed i plan to repaint it in many camouflage schemes.

I've uploaded a new version where i've fixed some things, and, as i've found more detailed blueprints, i've applied more hull lines from below the cockpit (where, BTW i corrected some shape errors too) up to the tail. i hope it's ok now.

Fine additions.

@Naixoterk - that's a good start indeed!
In principle I'd agree with Blackbuck's comments, though, as Garlicdesign pointed out, FD style isn't fully defined in such areas, that's of course purely optional.
