The white metal fittings supplied for the rudder and the structures around it are almost all unusablly fragile in a working model.

Quite agree, back the model into something hard by accident and you are likely to bend the rudder, prop and supporting structure. I have a collection of white metal rudders which I use as temporary ballast sometimes!
