Need help IDing an antenna on a C-46 and finding better photos of it


Recommended Posts

Working on a Platz 1/144 C-46 and need to replicate an antenna.  It's above the cockpit and looks almost like a set of bicycle handlebars.  Best case, I can find something similar that will work.  Worst case I need better photos that I can use to scratch a new one.  Any help IDing the antenna or finding better photos (top view?) would be tremendous.

That's the VOR (Very-High-Frequency Omni-directional Range) navigation antenna. Its one of those antennas that almost every aircraft have, and so you will have variations from one manufacture to the next, and variations from older to newer.  I took these of the C-46 pics back in 2007.  In the scale you are modeling, I would think a general shape would suffice rather than trying to duplicate every angle and curve.
