Hello All,
Have a question about the A1M1 it the picture below. What are those thick antennas on both the tanks? Has anyone seen them on a M1A2 SEP? Also do any of you know if anyone makes an upgrade kit that can be bought with these antennas in it?
Looks like the EPLRS antenna, part of the Blue Force Tracker system. It is available in aftermarket.
Those are DUKE anti-IED antennas. They have also been fitted to M1A2 SEPs and most other vehicles in Iraq and A’stan.
The one above in the set Rob showed is also a DUKE, and improperly included as part of the BFT system. EPLRS antennae are only slightly larger around than a standard FM antenna, they have about a 1 1/2 inch thick shaft on them.
Thanks a lot HeavyArty, does anyone know of a upgrade kit that includes these for a Dragon 3536 1:35
Blast has a set with a couple in it. It is also in the above BFT set. There is no set specifically for an M1A2 SEP that has them. They are also quite easy to make with a couple anteannae bases and some 1/8 " plastic rod.
