Just got some antenna mounts from Accurate Armour



at 48 mounts for 10 pounds it's a much better deal than the Verlinden set.

I wonder when someone will get the idea of molding antenna mounts - or rather only the springs - of flexible resin. I already saw parts made of such resin - e.g. airplane seatbelts or Caliber35 boots, so it should be just as easy to mold antena springs using this kind of resin. That would make realistic antenna positioning much easier!

Pawel,

The resin makes it very easy.

I didn't make them. I have a Accurate Armour Australian M113 LRV conversion and noticed that the antenna bases in the kit were similar to the US ones. So I contacted AA and ordered some. For those of us who have searched for and maybe found the Verlinden antenna base set, the AA option is much better in my opinion. I paid about $9 for the VP set and it's got 6 antenna bases and only a couple were suitable for my needs.
