Hi all

looking at Merkava and some Shot Kals', I notice that the aerial bases are flexuble enough so that the aerials can be 'tied together'.
Is there an aftermarket replacement for the Meng/AFV Club parts or can anyone offer a way to build them?
Thanks,

Steve S.

Are you thinking of something like this?

I'm not sure about Shot Kal, but I think Merkavas use this kind of antenna bases. If you want it even more detailed (and far more expensive) there are Adler's Nest antenna base offerings which can be bent by the modeler himself.

Cheers,
Mario

Well thanks to Mario, I have now received my 'flexible aerial bases' from "Arms Corp Models" for my Merkava and Shot K'al and I have to say what a blinding job he's done!! Really good quality casting and very well detailed - thank you Arms Corps Models in Aussie!!
