FULL-RES...I doubt very many (westerners) have ever seen the real deal so the issue is speculative...(however) the (same) kit designers put a scimitar-like 'j-prop' on the Song class kit so its not like it was not an option (for this model, too)...perhaps (the folks at Bronco) know more than we (do)...Some hard-core intel pix would be nice, huh?

I have the 1/35 scale Bronco 'Seehund' and the 1/350 scale Bronco 'HMS Victorious' in line but received the 1/48 scale 'Global Hawk' UAV yesterday, so may have to take a little detour. So many models, so little time!"
