Dragon's preliminary CAD shows an antenna on the turret roof of this tank.

Turret on Dragon's CAD image

German designers did not run antenna signals through the rotating turret joint in their tanks. Therefore, this antenna implies a radio set inside the turret.

This kit does not provide a radio set for the turret inside. Also, because of limited space in the turret, the gun would have to be removed so that a radio set could fit. This was normal for German "Command" tanks, which carried imitation gun barrels; but the kit's decals do not mark it as a "Command" tank.

You should not place an antenna on the turret of this model. Use the rear hull position for the antenna.
