If you look at the full scale verses the model, the model rudder tapers from the front to the back (it's hollow, being thicker at the leading edge toward the front of the aircraft and then tapers back to a point). The full scale bird uses a steel plate (solid plate) with ribs. Its not tapered at all. I'll post some pics for comparison.
