Default RE: Scratch Build - 1/8 Scale, C-2A Greyhound

Looked at the fins arrangement more closely and it's different setting then usual for sure. I see you have both outer fins with split rudders in 2 segments, top and bottom similar as S Connie yet different. Then i noticed that one of the two inner top fins have split rudder on it vs other one is plain fin!, correct me if i'm wrong here in my observation. So is it safe to say that both OB fins do main part yet right top inner fis is just used for extra trim purpose. What i find really weird with this design is that it's not a big plane, yet it needs so much rudder area being a twin engine aircraft, i wonder how much adverse yaw is needed to counter it and how much thrust is produced from those propellers for need of so many fins and rudders....
