As someone who was never encouraged or supported in modding (and one who not been credited for some of the work I did), I can agree with your view, but at the same time, speaking as someone accused of being a 'know-all', I would point out that my personal status is not the point (at least as far as I'm concerned). What matters is understanding and education.
As it happens, I would recommend you get seriously involved in the entertainment industry. You will quickly discover how cruel and heartless peoples opinions can be. And how powerless you are to avoid them. And how insidiously powerful some peoples opinions are. What happens on this webiste is a walk in the park in comparison.
in nay event I only made observances. What I could have done was suggest the changes I would have made. You know what? I'm going to. Not because I'm an expert or want the world to know how clever I am, but because it'll do you some good to realise that your pet project isn't necessarily going to please everyone else.
So, here goes. I would place the engines on the top surface of the wing in blended cowls with the front edge recessed but still close to the leading edge. As the aeroplane is a jet and ought to exploit the performance potential, I would want to get rid of those complex draggy float structures and replace them with central float/outriggers with streamlined pylons. To avoid flutter at high speeds, the outriggers would need more substantial pylons than you normal see.
You do whatever you want.
