Why does that QR fin looks so small ? Is it really an A380 one or a A350 one ? |

Ok, I can't see the split in the rudder on my iPad, I thought the split would be covered up by the white supporting framework !

Haven't seen a need to respond to anything lately, but I would bet money that the Tailfin shown is an A350 and not an A380, especially since the nearer tailfin is clearly smaller than the one further away and installed.

It's an A380 tail. Two things give it away as such (beside the two part rudder as noted by Jkkw): The "square opening" on the bottom of the fin and the fact that the rudder is bottom-side. A350 fins have the rudder on top while on transport.  A350 Fin and A380 by Tobias Gudat, on Flickr |

And A350 fins are always covered up.
