Rhodesian A76 Radio

thingiverse

This is a replica Rhodesian A76 radio designed for reenacting conflicts and historic displays at events. Created to accurately recreate various historical scenarios, this model boasts remarkable attention to detail. The knobs are slightly undersized to fit snugly into the "Top" plate, allowing them to spin freely or be secured in place with glue. This meticulous design ensures a seamless user experience. The antenna pyramid is precision-crafted to accommodate a whip antenna, mirroring the originals perfectly. The PRC antennas function exceptionally well, further enhancing the radio's authenticity. To complete the look, two handset plugs are required: one for printing and another that will sandwich a handset cord, slipping into place with ease. The unused handset plug features a screw-top cap, adding to the model's overall realism. The battery box is secured to the radio body using metal latches, replicating the original design with remarkable accuracy. We successfully used these replicas at several events, housing a simple BaoFeng UV5R inside and pairing it with a long spiral cord connected to a basic military radio handset. The result was incredibly realistic and engaging. This replica Rhodesian A76 radio is meticulously modeled after an actual unit, boasting an uncanny resemblance to the original. Every detail has been painstakingly recreated to provide an authentic experience.
