I like T45WingNut's offer, it would be a much simpler to design and build. I have never worked with turbins, but it looks like a blast. The closest thing I have done to that beauty is a 90% finish design of a Turboproped Pilatus PC-9M. If you build either I would stay as close to scale as possible and not have a nose pulling version. I would think people that want jet looking planes they should be jet driven.
