Looks like it could come from the tail of a MIG 21

Thanks again guys. I am not a model builder but thought it would look good if it had clearly the piece I have on it. A small kit I will build. ..first time in 40 years I would guess ha.
On a stand next to it would be great. Ill look on ebay and amazon but any other place thats a good deal will be helpful.

Its the housing and antenna for a sirena 2 passive radar warning receiver on a Mig 21. The three rods sticking up in front of it are IFF antennas.
The colour scheme comes from many Mig 21s.
I think on later models this became the transponder fairing and the metal probe sticking out is a static wick.
Thank you ...you know ya stuff.The colour scheme comes from many Mig 21s.
