I purchased a 21st Century 1/48 scale 109K from ebay. When I received the item, it was in a sealed box. However, the pitot tube on the left wing was missing, as was the loop antenna on the top of the fuselage. Also, there looks like glue on the wing.

Does anyone own the exact item and can you confirm that the antennas are there ?

I just want to make sure because the box was sealed.

I came across this picture which shows the antenna postions on this model. Hope this helps.

Those should be in small plastic bag. Survey the black tray over and under it's sides, typically taped there somewhere. Good luck.

The small pitot ube on the wing is a fixed item and should've been there from the factory, but the underside drop antenna and loop antenna should be bagged..

(I just looked at my most recent K-4 and it doesn't have the DF loop but it doesn't have a place for it either, so it probably didn't have one)

Now thats strange. Maybe they reboxed it and sold it as new ? I have to take a better look at the box.

The underside antenna was in place.
Part of the wing antenna looks to be broken off and a small part of it is still in the wing.
I don't see a hole for the loop antenna in the fuselage, so maybe it didn't come with one.
But there is glue smeared on the wing, so I'm just gonna ask for a refund.

Thank you for the help.
