I especially love the "since this is a show, and not real life" part...

The model was only about 2 inches long though, so you can't expect it to be uber-detailed.

Sure I can: the 1" long micro machine had all those details, so whay not a model that's 3.5" long?
Sloppy.
A friend of mine (novahobbies.com) just overhauled one of those kits and had to do a lot of work to make it accurate and to eiminate any large gaps in the model when the wings are in the raised position.
The bridge is the wrong shape and mising several details as well.

Mabye he'll release a resin version of his accurized version.

As to the Warbird (and indeed all TNG romulan ships) I just figured the lack of impulse vents was because they disapated the exhaust over the entire hull to stay stealthy.
