Creepy Pete Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi all, I'm currently working on the ICM Beech 18/C-45/JRB-4 kit, and planning to do it as a Japanese one. Sadly the kit comes with only the early antennas that were used on WW2 ones. I'm trying to scratchbuild the one that sits on top of the cockpit, like the ones on these: http://www.gonavy.jp/bbs1/img/3018-3.jpg https://www.aircraftcovers.com/media/images/11977.jpg And this one, minus the pointy top bit: http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/assets/AIRFORCE_Internet/images/news-nouvelles/2013/11/INCP-10-2031 Wiggler 2.jpg I think it was also used on some other planes of that period, like this Dutch DHC-2 Beaver: http://www.thunderstreaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/De-Havilland-Canada-Beaver-S-5-Volkel-20-6-1970-J.A.Engels-ct18-61-62.jpg Anyone got a better (top side) pic of this type of antenna? Thanks in advance, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
