Back into the hobby!

After many years away from the hobby, I have gotten back into modeling. I used to model Military aircraft but this year I purchased a 350Z and wanted to recreate it in 1/24. This gave me the "bug" to get back into modeling, specifically autos. These 4 models are the first models that I have ever sanded and polished the finish on. I'm not great with the detail work yet but I'm getting there. Any comments or criticisms are welcomed, as I want to learn from my errors.

Those look really nice!

The paint looks very smooth and shiny on each one.
Trims are carefully done I can see.

If anything, show us some closer pictures, then I can see if there is anything I can suggest.

Yeah, there are really good.
