Have You Seen This Radar Dish?

My plan is to mount these plastic 155mm guns on Panama mounts and use them as 1930's and 1940's US Army Coast Artillery guns.
Shown here with 1/72nd scale HaT US 75mm gun artillery crews.
Have you seen this radar dish?
It used to come on a cheapo plastic truck, years ago.
I got a few by mail order for $1 each a long time ago, maybe 20 year ago?
Naturally I had little use for them at the time so I only got a few.
1/72nd scale figure for size.  Now, I need a few more, so I am hoping to find more of them.  If you have a few spare ones, or know of a source for them, send me an email please. bunkermeister45@aol.com

Interesting. I didn't know that these guns were originally 1/72 scale 'Long Toms'. Since they comes with 54mm-ish Army Men sets, I've thought of them as recoilless guns. Are you making some coastal artillery positions and fortifications to these guns and radars?

That is the plan. The radars have several uses but I need more to actually get started.
