The Blockade Runner model uses a thing a lot like a plow blade as it's radar antenna. I haven't managed to figure out what the part number is yet. But if you look really closely at the pics of the model, you'll see it on top more or less in the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

The certificate didn't even have the numbers printed on it, so what's it worth in the long run really? Obviously, (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.trains)

I modified one of my test plows for a town truck, this looks a tad corny but, I think this might get you in the direction you want to go. The biggest problem I found was how thin and small could you make it while still make it look like a plow. Its (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
