When did german command vehicles convert the big frame radio aerials on to the more conventional rod aerials? Additionally do any manfacturers make the late war radio aerials in 15mm. Or is their a simple way to make them yourself? Thanks and salut y'all! Bruce the Texas Grognard |

The frame antennas were generally replaced by star antennas, which are fiddly to make in 15mm. |

I've seen photoetch star antennas, but I can't remember the manufacturer. |

1/300 etched helicopter rotors make handy star aerials. You'll want the 5 bladed variant. Sadly I can't remember offhand who makes them! |
