Hi,
see attached some screenshots of 3D Viewer showing the HackRF board, it
could replace this one in kicad-pcb.org
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+EDA+Software+Suite?preview=/589828/1376287/kicad_3dviewer.png

Who should I ask to upload it?

The other screenshots could be updated too, they look ancient.

Regards


Marcos
