Here is the thrust tube installed, I supported the exit with a balsa ring and glued that to the fuse, I also made a faux nozzle to dress up the rear a little. This was made out of .009 aluminum (roof flashing) and I scored it into 8 equal sides, this is then screwed to the balsa ring...

not decided yet what to do with the rest of the tail section - I might paint it flat black!?
