Are ya gonna taper the exhaust tube exit ? ..it would give ya more ground clearance and give the tail area a cleaner look .
So far tho this is really heading down a very cool path 😎
A retractable tail wheel on an elongated strut should dp the trick.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Front end is slowly getting into shape with the help of some plasticcard and, what seems to be, a lot of PSR.

Yes, that'll be a LOT of PSR! 
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Nah! Just slap the putty on, a quick "Blip!" with the ol' belt sander & she'll be right, mate! :thumbsup:  ;D

The front is being build up with small pieces of plasticcard.

After the first round of PSR the Turbobolt got a quick cover of a random colour, so I can see all the uneven areas and holes, which need more attention.
