I blew past my bed time building up the internals...here is the first draft:
I'll do an open nozzle variant next.

Here we go...this one is for full afterburner or for taxiing...your choice:
For reference, this is what the inside of the rear end of the GE F110 looks like:

I think I am going to make some chin pods (for TCS/IRST units) as well...they won't be perfectly correct in their positioning, but they will plug right into the screw hole in the nose of the plane. Easy on, easy off.

I love the plug and play aspect of your stuff. It's abolutely brilliant.

I am coming close to a non-permanent installation method for the tailhook on a modern-era Skystriker. Here is the latest revision (nearing time for a test print): All it needs is a replacement screw that is 0.25" longer than the one that is in there originally. As designed, the base fits between the fuselage and the reserve fuel tank and still allows the hook to deploy without hitting the fuel tank. Quick poll for anyone who is paying attention: Should I make the universal joint on the tailhook actually "universal?" Presently, the hinge is only for up/down movement but I can make the other end of the hinge piece (where the shaft attaches to the hinge) another hinge for side-to-side movement. Pro: it will be more accurate in its functionality. Con: it will not be automatically centered for display so you'll have to center it yourself.

My vote would be to keep it simple.

I love the skyscraper parts, and the weapons pod sounds like a great idea for a lot of Joe scale planes.
I tend to agree with Xerofall that simple is good(and often less finicky). True universal sounds neat, but what is it worth the tradeoff? Also from a display purpose perspective, does that extra motion really add a lot of flexibility? If its similar difficulty on the install, and costs are similar than I think your manual adjustment con is minor.
