Panther G Antenna/Cleaning Rod Tube

Hey guys,

Does anyone happen to know the diameter of the actual Panther G Antenna/Cleaning Rod Tube or anyone in the process of building the Tamiya kit and would be able to confirm the diameter before mounting the part? I'm working on a HL Panther G and I have the feeling that it may be to big. Before purchasing a piece of brass tube I would like to have the actual size.

Thanks in advance...

Derek

So what Eastern Front found off one of his Tamiya Panthers was that the diameter of the tube was 10mm or just a hair over 3/8 of an inch. The overall length including the caps was 126mm or 4 15/16 of an inch. Thanks again Eastern Front for the info.

Now, I was on a Russian Armoured site and came across these pics of a dude measuring out the pioneer tool, track, cable racks and the antenna tube. He has all of his measurements in Millimeters, after converting to inches, they seem pretty accurate.

Here are soom of the pics.
