Question on P-47N dual antennas

[oortiz10]

Hey ARC,

 

I know that the dual antennas on PTO VLR Mustangs were wooden, but what about on P-47Ns? Were the dual dorsal antennas on P-47N spines wooden too? I'm working on a P-47N, and I'm wondering what color to paint the antennas.

 

Thanks,

They were the same as the Mustang antennae.  Be aware though that if you're building a PTO N model, do your research.  The majority of N models that saw combat did not have them installed until after the war was over.
