Can any of you fine Armoured SME's tell me what the lengths are for the four antenna on our Leo 2's?

TIA

Brad-still enjoying my Leo 2 build.

On a Canadian Leopard 10 - 10.5 feet would be pretty close.

These antenna listed below are 93 mm in 1/35 which would be about 10.6 feet in 1:1 scale.

Thanks Jason. I remembered your post about the brass antenna set from the German company that you posted earlier, just wanted to make sure that the length was correct. Any idea about the length of the short one on the right side antenna T platform?

Those look pretty nice....are the resin antennae bases in the Storm set strong enough to hold them?
