Again, I'm not very sure on this, and am TOTALLY willing to discuss it.

I think you do 1:3 on the top and sides, and radius about a foot at the transition from the tail to the trailer.

Be CAREFUL during that foot - don't do anything to create separation, but don't worry about the 4 corners around your tail- if you screw up the corners, you create a vortex which helps fix any separation.
DR - so this means a radiused area to go from the flat top and sides to get a nice transition to the flat sides of the tail section - and then not worrying about actual curved sides on the tail itself correct?

Fab would obviously be easier on this concept. Does it end up too abrupt and still create separation?
