Personally, I think it's a tad plain, well done, but plain
Adding some neat little things, and and insignia would make this look real nice

Looks fairly close to the regular arm.

I would say add some power cables underneath like the original one.

Nice work.

It just needs a bit more detail and bits, but otherwise okay.

Try adding trim to the front rectangle around the missiles. That should help the aesthetics greatly.

(I mean model it, not simply paint it)

That looks pretty good. the bits on the back are a little squint, but that might just be noticeable if you're actually jammed right up against the thing

As well as trim around the front, maybe get some kind of defining line around each missile? Most GW launchers have a small indentation that you could replicate, either by raising the whole of the front plate to get the trim, or just by painting a plack circle around each missile. It just helps separate things out a bit more.
