Default TF Cessna 182

I'm building the TF Cessna 182 and I'm wondering, has anybody changed the Tail Feathers to reflect a 1956 182? I sure do like the looks of the earlyer Rudder.

I changed the Tail Feathers and Deleted The Rear Window because I like the looks of the Early Cessna 182 Fast Back . I don't like the Raked Fin And Rudder. And it's not for Sale.

Test fit of Tail Feathers looks good.
