This airplane has a nice little seat to add a rider!
The only thing I'd try to change if I made the airplane again is make the decrease rows of the nose (rounds 14-17) and seat (rounds 8-11) tighter so they don't bulge inward. On this "model", a lot of the seat is filled in by the decrease rows.
The nose, windshield (this part is made with a different color), seat, and tail are all crocheted without needing to sew any pieces together.

14. Place a marker in the first stitch and leave it for later. In BLO, (3 sc, Dec)*4, sc - 17
15. In both loops, (2 sc, Dec)*4, SC

Begin stuffing
13. In FLO, sc, hdc, dc, (this next stitch will be done in the same stitch you just made the dc in and in the stitch you'll make the next dc - it's just to make the tail a bit more pointy) tc2tog, dc, hdc, in both loops sc2tog, dc3tog, pinch the remaining hole closed (making sure it is an up & down oval rather than a sideways oval), insert your hook through both sides of the oval, and sc2tog to close hole.
