Just noticed on the torpedo photo, with the ladies, the fins are of a different color. Wonder about this.

They're blushing.

You can see the torpedo behind the blushing one has much of the dark color sanded off so it is probably a coating of some sort. The ladies probably rubbed that one out already.

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all well. The manual mentions depth and steering rudders and actuators.
I think that the vertical fins do have active control. Have a look at page 19.
Best Regards,
Stu.

You're correct Stu. They do have tiny rudder controls. Good catch.

In the view of the mufflers, it appears Revell missed the boat on the orientation of the flap controls in the mufflers.

In what way Larry? The mufflers look a little small but the linkages, at least those shown in the paint guide, look OK:

I was curious how the kit parts of the muffler flap linkage measured out in 1:1 scale. Converting from 1/72 scale they are 2.52 inches in diameter. Not surprising for a kit part. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that Revell provided any control linkage at all. Fortunately Eduard provided a more scale version in their photo etch set.

In the part two review at around 3 minutes it shows the mufflers, and in that view it appears the flaps and linkage are ninety degrees to the main muffler body rather than at an angle. They should be parallel to the water surface when reproduced correctly.
