Better treasure those, because they are such a rare sight :thumbup:

Funny how such a simple thing wasn't easy to prove.

But thank you for your extra confirmation Mr Aussie :thumbup:
No worries mate , I don't have the actual book , I downloaded it off my Australian Forum , Hobby Havoc.

The antenna on a real Panzer III is mounted on the radio operators rear side of the upper hull.. If you look there, you will see a rather long piece with a channel on it. That is the antenna fold down position. The antenna would be mounted to the rear of that area where the cone-like (with a hole drilled in it). The whip antenna (not supplied) would mount into that hole. I hope that makes sense.

I edited this to correct my earlier post with better descriptions and correct spelling.
