Default InFlight 200 CV-990

My Alaska "Golden Nugget Jet" Convair 990 has no antenna atop the fuselage. I don't even see a hole for an antenna piece to be placed into. On the box though, a graphic of the plane has a top antenna. Anyone else have an InFlight 990 release? Does yours have an antenna?

I have two Convair 990s and one 880.

They all have a VHF antenna on the fuselage.

Hi Todd,

my Swissair and American CV-990 Coronados are from Inflight, and, yes, both do have a top antenna.

Strange, that your Alaska Coronado does not have it.

Cheers,
Ralph

Here is a photo from InFlights website and it looks to me like it has no antenna. As others have stated the rest of their releases look as if they did have one.

There are not too many pics of Alaska Coronado's on Airliners.net but on the ones that I found there is no roof top antenna. So your model seems to be a correct representation of the real thing.
