Hey Guy's,
I'm looking for info on manufacturers that produce US antenna mounts used on shermans, Halftracks etc etc.

I know of two brass antenna mounts that I've used/have:

Panzer Art SU35-001 and Aber R-25.

Both can be found on E-Bay. There are other options but I haven't tried them.

Be aware that WWII US antennas did not taper, like fe German ones. They were made of sections that fitted into each other. Use thin plastic rod for the antennas.

Adlers nest makes a beautifull but more expensive set.
