Leopard Workshop has improved some of their aerial sets. The Smoke Launchers have been upgraded as well, and a new set of 'Velcro' patches is also available.
The aerials now have real springs at the base to replace the previous turned brass items. They have also been redesigned for more accuracy.

These are the reworked references:
  • LW014B - Canadian Aerials for Leopard C2 (late) and C2 MEXAS
  • LW015B - Canadian Aerials for Leopard 2A4M and 2A6M CAN
  • LW021B - US-style AS-1729 Aerials on MX-6707 Base Unit

Addtionally, LW027B Leopard 2 6 + 2 Smoke Launchers, which can be used with any Leopard 2, has been revised and now includes the launch rails.

And there are new items as well:
LW017HB Leopard 2A4 Barrel, For HobbyBoss Leopard 2A4. Designed to be a straight fit onto the HobbyBoss kit. Three alternative fume extractors are provided with different textures.

LW035 Canadian Leopard 2 'Velcro' patches, for HobbyBoss Leopard 2A4M CAN. These patches are individually cut to a more accurate size, are very easy to place, and look more 3-dimensional. than the decals included with the kit.

Fraid not Mike I was told many years ago by my boss in Flight Test Aircraft etc have antennas, bugs have antennae

While your boss may well be a fine aerospace engineer, I don't think the Leopard is an aircraft but a tank😀 In any case, the etymology is the same, so it's a usage issue: LINK Much like aluminium/aluminium.

Either way, aerials receive only, antenna transmit and receive. Anyway, nice work there Mike.

Cheers Jason! Third time lucky with the 021 set. 1st attempt was a disaster and never released, 2nd time resin bases too weak though I had no complaints. A learning curve one could say - like looking up correct spelling and definitions.
