Yah. What people these days forget about Art Deco is the historical context. Lots of people look at it now as nice-looking but a little quaint. At the time, it was the essence of futurism; the shapes and materials of the new high-speed technological world. Parallel of course with the Streamline Moderne -- which also lends some lines to your ship here (the movement that lent streamlining to clocks and electric razors). I wasn't really bothered by the tail, but yah, joining it, or even changing the plane there (a Y-tail like a Stealth Fighter perhaps?) might be interesting. What bugged me, tho, was that plain black cockpit. And I think what it is, is the large undetailed expance of it. If perhaps the rear third of the cockpit was shrouded/armored with more of those lines from the hull wrapping around and cupping it.... Again, a fun ship. Wouldn't look completely out of place in Moe's Dystopia, either.
