Hi guys, the antenna for the 1963 Corvette Coupe by Autoart - is it supposed to be mounted on the model? Or was it packed separately? Also, did tese models all came with a certficate?

Is there any reason not to mount it?

I should have explained myself better -  I got the model ( the blue coupe), it's still mounted in original foam in is boxed, but there is no certificate and no antenna. Could they be hiding under the model in a bag or something? Or does it mean they are missing?

It looks like you mount the antenna I found a photo that has a piece of paper showing the antenna and mounting it. I had to take a photo of the photo on my computer screen so it is not the best quality but it appears the antenna is not mounted in the box and you have to mount it after removing from the styrofoam. 

The paper is the small one at the lower right of the photo.

[PIC] Somewhere on one of the clam shell halves should be taped the antenna in a plastic sheath.
