Default ADF size/shape

[img]On many planes in the 1930's and 1940, an instrument called the Automatic Direction Finder was housed in a black tear-dropped shaped device mounted on either the bottom of the plane (B-25) or on the top (AT-6). As the war and time progressed, these got smaller and smaller and soon were only a 'bump' in the fuselage.

I'd like to see a side view of an AT-6 Texan with one of those mounted behind the canopy as I would like to get its location, size and shape to add to my plane.

I scratched one out of balsa but it was too small when compared to the plane (see picture). I'd like to make one closer to the scale size of the full-sized airplane.

Any takers? TIA
