I like the overall feel of the first one more; it just feels more like a civilian gunship. I like the details on the second one though, especially the cockpit and the vents on the wings are nice detail touches that make it stand out from the rest of the line.
First is eagle with wings ,second is eagle without wings- both are bad.
Second is good beginning:
1: make the sides proper or remove them at all, add more engines twin/triple engine in the center and one on each side under the wings so they have some usage- now they looks ugly cut - like Roc from behind.
2: change the cockpit and the nose- it is a way too big,most of the GBs have some kind of bridge with windows, this kind of ships are manned by crew not by single pilot- yours looks for single usage.
The nose of the second proposal mounted on the first one with better bridge section would be nice.

The first one looks more like a "light gunboat" that civilians need (they already have the KuEx for the heavy gunboat). The second looks rather heavier.
The eagle'ish is really cool, but that massive chin... can you take as a small suggestion to reduce it at... 75% more thin maybe? besides that, its excellent

2-man crew in a cockpit is probably right thing. The gunboats with "windows" are all wrong, because they are still too small to hold a large crew.
My understanding is that it's a gunship, so it should be crewed by 3 to 5 people. The Hessian gunship seems to have the right cockpit or bridge, with one pilot and another two crewmen visible.
I would say 1 gunner per gun and 1-2 flying the ship- something like Star wars millennium falcon crew- 4-5-10 people max but 1 person could not be able to dive and shoot at the same time if the guns are not automatic, and if they are we can assume that all ships could fly with one pilot only.

The model looks good luis, I would say you should retexture the front though. The map there looks stretched and forced. Maybe break up the polys, so you can add greater diversity.
