Aber 16159 German 1,4 m Stabantenne (1/16)

Aber 16159 German 1,4 m Stabantenne (1/16) is a high-quality detail part designed for 1:16 scale military vehicle models. This product is a faithfully reproduced replica of the 1.4-meter-long German rod antenna, commonly used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. Antennas of this type were mounted, among others, on tanks, self-propelled guns, and command vehicles such as the famous Panzer IV, Tiger I, or command vehicles Sd.Kfz. 250 and Sd.Kfz. 251.

The original “Stabantenne” type antenna was standard equipment for German armored communications vehicles, providing effective communication even on the battlefield. Thanks to its increased length (1.4 m) and sturdy steel construction, it enabled efficient transmission of orders, often decisive for tactical advantage. These antennas were used in all theaters of war from 1939 to 1945, including the Polish and French campaigns, Operation Barbarossa on the Eastern Front, and battles in North Africa.

The Aber product is made of precisely turned metal (brass), ensuring ideal scale thickness and durability. The metal construction means that the antenna not only looks authentic, but is also resistant to bending during assembly. The set does not include additional parts such as mounts or bases — it is a single rod antenna, perfect as a replacement for the thicker and less realistic plastic counterparts found in standard kits.
