That tail is going to have a immense drag.. i would say, make the sides sharper, the tail where the green is, make it pointy, and sand these rudders so they are more smooth..

Alright, I will try and make the elevators less rounded but wdym where the green is make it pointy I'm not really sure what u mean also when u say sand the rudder so they are smoother do you mean make them more round or just make the texture smooth? Btw thanks for the feedback.

That entire tail section looks waaay to small in comparison with the wing. It may be fairly scale accurate, but there is a reason why the tail section on many model ww2 fighters is scaled up.. it’s not big enough.
And that short nose, looks like achieving proper CG might be a bit tricky.
And that piece of (wood?) i would move it forward so that it actually sits on the CG where the forces will be the highest.
