• 4 ribs for and easy mount of the 50m WTC in the Trumpeter Soryu Class model
• 4 stern dive planes/rudders
• 2 pairs of small magnetic connectors
• 2 X-rudder arms allowing for X-rudder system
• 1 end stop for the RCshipyards WTC
• 1 stern rib connecting stern upper hull with the lower hull
• 2 different drill guides for drilling the Soryu pylons – locking mech
• 4 brass inserts for the pylons locking mech
• 1 screw set for the Soryu pylons locking mech
• all the necessary brass rods and elements

X-rudder arms allowing for X-rudder system with stern rib connecting stern upper hull with the lower hull:

The X-rudders/planes which come with the Trumpeter Soryu model are a solid part of the hull – non rotational. They need to be cut off. They’re also a bit to small, if you want decent manoeuvrability in your RC model. This set deals with that problem as the X-rudder planes are slightly bigger yet in a identical shape and they fit the surface of the plastic hull nicely.

This is a fitting KIT only. You still need the model and WTC for it. You can get a WTC for self assembly HERE.
