The attached list should help; forgive me, but I've not updated it in some time.

There is a lot of confusion about these fin units and this comes up every so often. It’s not “pretty much the rest” used another can, below is the complete list that used the PRP-1. Your guides are very helpful, thank you.

That is correct, I will say again, I believe this is the correct, complete list that used the PRP-1G fincan, in various colors:
Kit# 1328, Kadet
Kit# 1333, Scorpion (used 2 fin units. PRP-1 only early production kits)
Kit# 1416, Challenger-1 (starter set)
Kit# 1418, Star Trek (starter set)
Kit# 1420, Star Wars Proton Torpedo (starter set)
Kit# 1438, Dune: The Guild Heighliner (starter set)
