Correct(ed) tail surfaces (stabilisers, elevators and rudder) for the Kitty Hawk FJ-2 Fury (and early FJ-3).
The FJ-2 kit only contains the ribbed elevators/rudder, which is correct for an FJ-3 and very late FJ-2's after transfer to the Reserves. FJ-2's in service (as well as early FJ-3's) had smooth-skinned control surfaces.
As the elevators are rarely seen deflected (due to the unique all-flying stabiliser mechanics which moved the elevator deflection in unison with moving the whole stabiliser) the manufacturer opted to provide the whole stabiliser / elevator as one piece, like the kit.
No cutting is required, all parts are drop-fit replacements for the kit parts.
