I bought the kit anyway, and here is what I found inside...
This kit uses the Italeri mold, but it is packaged and sold by Bilek. In fact, the sprue is clearly marked Italeri. There is a resin antenna bracket in it. No radio gear is included.
There is a poor reproduction photo of a WC-54 in Signal Corps markings, complete with s/n, etc. So the Signal Corps evidently had at least ONE of these. Whether this was a field expedient or a production run was made for the Signal Corps is unknown to me at this time.
This kit is also 50% cost than the Italeri kit. But the Italeri kit is out of production at the moment.
