Are there any sources for modern American bases?

Maple Leaf Models has some in a set. They are closed down till around teh 1st of the year though. Pro Art has a couple in their SINCGARS radio set. I think Accurate Armour may have a set of antenna bases as well.

Good morning, everyone ( it's morning here in Holland )
Gino is right, Accurate Armour has some, but there from MR-models.
Perhaps you can find a retailer that sells them directly !!

AA does make their own bases and they normally are part of the C015 Australian M113 LRV conversion but you can order just some bases if you contact AA:



The bases have 2 bolts. Easy to bend as needed with a little heat. Looks very similar to what we had on the M106A2 in the late 80's and maybe still in use.

The MLM set has 8 bases with 2 bases pre-bent and the bases have 5 bolts. Looks very similar to the one in this picture:

I don't know if this is a purely Canadian base.

Neither one of these looks close to what I assume is the newer and skinnier base that I see in some pictures. This is probably what Gary is talking about.
