Biplane (not a copy of a real plane)

But the prop doesn't look good/right.
I'm guessing it's because of the perspective and view angle. It looks ok for me. The bees shouldn't fly neither (because of their shape)... but they do

Can you post a image with model having hidden geometry on?
I think it's very expressive !
Below you will see two photos of a metallic model, the kind you find in souvenirs shops. Maybe it can inspire you for "dirtying" your model

Pretty good model
  I didn't think of dirtying, just maybe make my plane more "natural". In general, we'll see.
And, here it is with hidden lines. They are messy in some places

Actually it's because of their weight/wing size ratio

Of course you're free to shape the prop however you want to, but as you were asking for problems/errors...
Such props were typically tapered much narrower closer to the hub/root. And they were usually rotating in the other direction too (clockwise when seen from the pilot).
Here's a model of a plane quite similar to yours, the Sikorsky S-16: http://www.essmc.org.au/jonbuncess16.html - 
I'm surprised nobody has suggested tricking it out with few machine guns, missile launchers and maybe some laser cannons and a cloaking device

  i'm gonna to make smtg like this:

Hmmm, are you talking about a bee? Or plane? In fact, I intend to install a couple of big guns on it))

Better install a couple of bees on a gun
 (btw, here on scf we are pacifists) -

Hmmm....hadn't thought of the bee, now that would be interesting (although with it's undersized wings it might also need a warp engine)

Warp?
Sure you didn't mean a real Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine?

Nope, I'm talkin' "We need warp drive now Scotty or we're all dead"
 - 
Nah, just add a Flux Capacitor, why warp speed if you have time travel.

Yeah, I'd go for that, if I could install it in one of my oldies (that dang Delorean is just not my style
 ) - 
Need some wire bracing on those wings!
 - 
I don't know if Pete got the word that the speed of light may have been exceeded by some overclocking Neutrinos. Warp drive may not be off the table.

Of course!

Reworked engine (a little bit), and the new prop. - 
Looks great with the new prop

 - 
 - 
Is that a metal prop now?
