Looking for 1/48 aircraft football antenna

I've got a 1/48 Revell T6 Texan and my references show an ADF football antenna behind the cockpit. Anyone know a source for these? Resin or? Worst case I sculpt one.

Alas not but it shouldn't be to hard to scratch build one - maybe using a 1/72 drop tank from something like a P-51 as a base?
If you have a ref photo you could work out the size by comparing a fixed length. e.g. the height of the rudder above the tailplane of the photo and the model, and then using those dimns.to create a ratio between the photo and the model - that way you can get the right size...
Or you could just do what I'd do and do it by eye!

Most issues of the 1/48 Hobbycraft/Academy P-36 Hawk include one for optional use.

I found one!
It'll just cost you your address...and a few days of waiting.
