I have a Revell lionfish kit that is starting to look like a Balao fleet sub but to my horror -I have lost the damn stern planes ! can anyone help me? I tried revell the part is free to replace but the shipping on a 2 gram part is 4.00.$ that's twice what I paid for the kit!! If nobody has the part a good pic and some mesurements would do - better yet it you have it and can scan it - I believe it's a flat butterfly looking thing I could then make one that looks close! Thanks in advance.-John

John, I've got the kit, mate...
But I am using it as a build tutorial for younger modelers in my column, or I would give you the parts...I can scan, photo, or draw you up what you may need...shoot me a pm or better yet an e-mail , with what may help you, Bro.
