Good review, Mario.

While these are a step-up from kit parts, I doubt I would buy them, since you still have to fiddle with the antenna itself. There are PE & brass alternatives from Voyager and others.

Now if someone would just make a good VIC 1 intercom system and a set of AFV dome lights we would be in business

James,
Check out Mouse House Enterprises. They had/have a VIC-1 system in resin that they marketed for the M113 that had the 1780 and Charlie Boxes. I never ordered it but thought hard about ordering several times, especially for my stalled M1064A3 build.


As for the Live Resin products, the mounts and matching units are nice but I guess that it is up to the modeler to come up with the rest of the antenna... Perhaps a better alternative is that LR would leave a cavity in the top of the hex shaped fitting to avoid drilling into that beautiful casting. Just a thought

Great statement John. I agree completely. I really wish this had been done as a complete antennae.
