3D-printed Antenna KIT for the Rabid Models J1N1 Gekko

The J1N1 "Gekko" (Irvine) twin-engine fighter had a primitive radar and a distinctive antenna array mounted on the nose.  For our Rabid Models version, this detail is a little trick to model (the first one we made kept breaking) so we designed a 3D-printed antenna mast. Each mast has 5 tiny holes to insert short lengths of small CF rod.

This Kit includes FOUR masts and some CF rod material (which you can cut into small lengths).  Prepare by sanding the antenna masts and clean out the holes with a very small (1mm) jeweler's drill bit.  Glue the parts and then paint them silver. When your four antenna masts are finished. you simply insert them into the foam on the nose of the plane as you see here!

By the way - we also sell a set of two 3D-printed spinners (2 cones and 2 backplates) specifically for this model (CLICK HERE). You will need two 9x7 propellers and two prop adapters, these are NOT included but are available separately from Rabid Models.
