Hey Jim,

 BTW, Where did you get the characters from?

jpdenver:
Mountfleet Models

The website is kinda funky and the figures are hidden on the review page. (go figure)

I ended up emailing them for the catalog pages.
They were very fast to ship.
You have to paint them.
Regards,Jim

I think you will find that the very small auxiliary thrusters are hydraulic powered from a diesel-powered hydraulic pump. They were fitted in case of breakdown of the main engine but they are so small and the props equally small that the effective thrust must be very low.
