Hello all . I've built a Tamiya Tiger 1 Early and noticed there were no parts of an antenna or antenna base. I know I can basically make my own antenna out of wire or something, but does anyone have any suggestions for the antenna base??

I looked around online and the only thing available is something from Europe which costs $5/each then $22 for shipping. Should I just sculpt one out of leftover plastic pieces?

Example of what I'm looking for:

That Riich set looks great. I think this is the on board Gen used in the command Tiger 1. There is an article about these in the Modellers guide to Tiger tanks. They show the exhaust pipe coming out behind the drivers position on the top deck.This is the 1st time I can recall seeing these offered.I think I will order a set.
