no, the model has a very thin whip aerial on a spring attachment to pick up the radio control signal, although it is in the same position. However the turret on the model only revolves around 340 degrees, 170 each direction.
It is a cracking bit of kit, but beware of buying one for your grand offspring. It fires little yellow balls as bullets from the main gun and Mrs Staircase is getting a bit upset ............!
