I got ahold of EA010/8th Army Dingo Scout Car in Chicago. It comes with a metal antenna but I can't find a place for it. Is this just and extra part or am I missing something???

Huh...I thought that hole was for an extension cord to charge up the battery?

Does the antennae fit in the hole? I never use the antennae that come with the vehicles.

Are you able to help me take a photo of the antenna? And also, the diameter, length and color? Mine is missing and I need to make one up. Thanks a bundle for your help!

Please help if it it not too much trouble. Trying to figure what this antenna is exactly like. Thanks!

It's just a piece of black wire with a diameter to fit the hole and about 3" - 4" long.

Thanks so much Wayne and Terry. Looks like a simple wire that is black in color. Much appreciate for the help. And the pics paint a thousand words!

Many thanks for the help and good advice. The wire antenna isn't anything special but I did notice its a different length and thickness than my Rommel's Horch vehicle.

The antenna on most models is not to scale for thickness or length. It is just to represent an antenna and does vary from model to model. Many models have just a stub where an antenna should go, or no antenna at all.
I don't get too concerned about it, especially because most actual antennae are whippier and sometimes much longer than the scale ones on the models.

Here is a photo of a real Dingo. It has 2 antennae, one much longer than the other.
