Visually, more like the latter, albeit a great deal smaller. Or one of the engines on an Me 262, or a Boeing 707, for that matter. I mean, there wasn't a lot of visual variation in early-generation podded turbojets. :) It doesn't have that weird stovepipe thing the V-1 had, anyway.

(Also, ye gods, a pulse jetpack? That would be horrible.)
