Spare SINCGARS VHF Antenna AS-3900/VRC with Base Unit from Live Resin anyone?

I just found out I gave away all of the unused pieces in my set. And guess what… I need one more antenna/mounting bracket for my latest Humvee build.

This is the set:

The set is very hard to find nowadays.

If there’s anyone willing to part with a single antenna base AND a mounting bracket, I would appreciate it.

Cheers,

Mario

Mario,
You have access to a 3D printer? Looks very similar to what I already have CADded. Can send you an STL file to get it 3D printed.

Kind regards,
James

Thanks Frenchy!

James, thanks! Yes, I can do the print at my friends. Just to be sure, you have both the antenna base and the mounting bracket as STL file?

Cheers,

Mario

Hi Mario,
The mounting bracket - I’ll have to CAD. Doesn’t look too complicated.
Can you send me some reference photos of the bracket if you have any?

Here’s what I already have:

Looks like all I have to do is add another tube layer on the top.

Kind regards,
James

No need for another tube on the top. What you did is enough for the base unit. Here are the photos of the mounting bracket:

And here’s the bracket mounted on a Humvee:

CAD done.

Please let me know what you think. Combo views:

Antenna matching unit - details improved a bit:

Mounting bracket zoomed in:




The thickness had to be overscaled in order to print OK in 1/35 scale.

Wow! Looks really good. I don’t mind the extra thickness, it is necessary at 1/35 scale.

I would make the back of the mounting bracket flush though, so it is easier to install it on the vehicle?

Thanks, Maki. Making the surface flat is super easy to do.
PM me on how you’d like to buy the STL.

OK, Mario,
At your request, the back of the bracket has been made flat:


PM sent.

Hi Mario,

Just released…
