What "real" effect do missile rails have on the flight surfaces on our model jets without the ordnance on them? Just curious if anyone knows.

None at all: as on most models they didn“t add much drag... perhaps just a little yawing at certain speeds.
However, they can be devastating to the wings if you need to land out of the runway or run out of it.. quite a common thing if you have a flameout.
