Have it...love it. The color combo is perfect for this model IMHO.
That's a very well done 1/43 (hard to believe) model. Those Highland interiors are nice looking IMO. With all those excellent photo-etched parts I'm surprised I don't see an antenna... or did you just not install it yet? 🤔 🤔
@chris The little silver spot on the left fender denotes a retracted antenna position, though I am unsure if such an option existed in 1954.
Harv, my 1:1 '55 Chrysler Windsor has a manually retracting antenna on the front fender.

Harv, without a doubt power or vacuum assisted radio antennas existed in 1954. Both my 1:1 1954 Lincolns had them. So, you have a choice:
1) Leave this Chrysler as is.
-OR-
2) Using a pin-vise & piano wire, fabricated an antenna.
(Still surprised one wasn't supplied or included on this very well-done model)
