Good idea.  I was hopeful that the work had already been done for me.  ;)

I seem to remember, many years ago, seeing a kit that would be about the right size. Maybe an Airfix one  ???

My mate had it half built on his shelf and then it got cannibalised for something shit  :(

Sorry I can't be of more help  :?

cheers

I know this is not exactly what you're looking for, but Micro Art Studio have a radar station that's close:

Captain,
             Not sure where you are, but check out the Toy Soldier Depot, a US based shop that has all sorts of neat and inexpensive stuff.  Maybe this will suit your needs -
