At least you have a photo etch option. And in 1/700, you, me, and 4 other guys would probably notice if you used the plastic screw.
Got my Riich Model 1/700 SSGN Thursday, but am only just now getting into it with a quiet weekend.
In an earlier thread, you had asked about the screw.

Well... I have stared and stared at the plastic one provided. It is "right hand turn," but the blade twist angle is backward! The leading edges of the blades are towards the stern. Turn this screw in its "normal" direction, and it will pull the boat in reverse. LOL.
PE screws are provided, and they are flat. They can then be given their own blade twist.
Otherwise, it is a nice model, I think. I would not know its accuracy beyond something this obvious, but there are lots of surface details molded on, and the fit so far has been good. Online images had shown gray plastic, but mine comes in a nice appropriate black plastic. It has the widened area where the deck shelters are.
Thought I would let you know.
I could email you photos if you'd like.
