Don't know why they put that slot in there??? That's for an antenna base for the BC-611 infantry radio. It uses a smaller ''rubber ducky'' mast base with a four foot antenna. Realistically, the main antenna in the large MB-48 mast base behind the TC had a very thick antenna staff....3/4'' at the base with 3 three foot sections narrowing to 1/2 '' at the tip. The Inf radio staffs were about 1/2 inch. The photo of the Weasel shows the type antenna and base. Another overexposed shot of loading ammo...the ant base is clear.
Hey Bill, does this look something like what your talking about? I made it out of a flathead machine screw and then soldered a straighted out paper clip to it. How tall should it be scale? Oh yeah...I also attached a couple of pics of my Tiger 1 TC. Hes probably not to scale but I had fun putting the cigarette and wiring up his headset! Last pic is of the Bulldog...I redid the rust on the mufflers, I think it looks alot better than before.
Thanks all,
Rat
