Master GM-35-043 German WWII 2m rod antenna (for Fu 5 radio set) (1pcs) 1/35 — German rod antenna for WWII radio set models

Master GM-35-043 German WWII 2m rod antenna is an extremely precise modeling detail dedicated to hobbyists seeking the highest level of realism and detail in their projects. This product represents a German 2-meter rod antenna used during World War II as equipment for the Fu 5 radio set, which was widely used by armored and motorized Wehrmacht units.

The product scale is 1/35, which means it is designed for vehicle models such as tanks, command vehicles, or half-track personnel carriers from leading plastic model manufacturers. The antenna is made from durable and very thin metal, which not only ensures its proper strength but also provides an exceptionally true-to-scale slenderness — an effect practically impossible to achieve with kit plastic antennas.

The original 2-meter radio antenna (Funkgerät 5 – Fu 5) was commonly mounted on German armored vehicles such as the Panzer III, Panzer IV, Sd.Kfz. 251, and Sd.Kfz. 222, which took part in all major World War II battles on all fronts — from the first campaigns in 1939-1940, to fighting on the Eastern Front, until the very end of the war in 1945.

The Master GM-35-043 antenna is made of precisely turned metal, ensuring perfect straightness and real proportions. The product does not contain resin and is not a 3D-printed element – it is a classic brass antenna that perfectly captures the delicacy of the original at an appropriate scale. Using a metal antenna also eliminates the issue of brittleness often encountered with plastic kit antennas, and ensures long-lasting durability when displaying or transporting the model.

The Master antenna is a typical modeling accessory — an accessory enhancing the authenticity of WWII German land vehicles. It is ideal for both advanced and intermediate modelers – we rate the assembly difficulty at 1/5, as its installation comes down to preparing a mounting hole.

• Precision turned metal antenna for 1/35 scale models
• Based on original WWII German Fu 5 radio set design

We recommend the Master GM-35-043 to anyone who wishes to enhance the realism of German WWII vehicles — it's a detail that will instantly make your model stand out from the rest.
