Nice and painterly.

Nice scene. Not to ask a magician to show his tricks but, how much post in this image? I really like how the cockpit glass wraps the light in the curvature. It even has a nice hotspot in the middle as if light is really bouncing towards the camera.

I did quite a bit of post work in Photoshop - I usually do. It’s very difficult -at least for me - to get that non-cg look right out of EIAS. There are some things you can do obviously, soft, blurred shadows and reflections come to mind, as well as using grunge maps etc. But, I’m lazy and impatient and if I know that the image is for a still I will usually take it to a certain level in Camera and then go into PS where things can go much faster.
So, background sky, grunge and yes the cockpit glass were all worked on. Although the basic shape of the reflection, refraction were there already in the glass settings.
