Default defiant fin

Oh thank god the defiant is in there! I feared he wouldn't make it in the release! But obviously he is alive and kicking!

One question about that moveable part on his back. Isn't that meant to be totally retracted in order to turn the turret? That is how I remember it from the days I made a scale model of a defiant... From the pictures I've seen it was always retracted if the turret was moving.

Is there someone who could enlighten me with some info about the use of that fin? I don't know what the use of it was. I suppose it had something to do with aerodynamics or some extra space for the gunners legs during non combat flights.

But great update oleg&team!
