I checked our 139 today and the tail boom/fuselage attach structure is fine, on the topic of nose gear doors, it is a worth while mod as it reduces cabin noise and pilot fatigue.
You can order the parts and retro fit gear doors on your ship. Our ship is very smooth and is very comfortable at 160knts. If your ship is rough check the MR track and the hammers beneath the floor, they definitly influence cabin comfort.
