Crete - Forward Signals Unit/Comms Relay Teams

I was looking at the different options for the Forward Signals Units and the Comms Relay Teams.

The new FJ Packs from Peter Pig have, what looks like, two figures carrying between them a Torn.Fu.d2 radio set which is a VHF set.  This is a two man set with the battery pack carried by the second man.  The figure wearing the main radio set is holding the radio set cover in his hand which you cannot see from the site photo

but you can see it here.  

This was my first idea until I realised which radio model was represented.

So a couple of observations.

• The figure carrying the accessory set is the one pointing.  He is wearing a headset which should connect by cable to the bottom front of the main radio set carried by the other figure.  This will need a bit of wire to replicate.  The wire that is modelled will need trimming off/down.
• The cable which links the two sets together also needs replicating it was long enough to allow them both to be able to walk together.

This is from the German manual and you can see the connections.  The antenna is made up of 6 sections (32cm each) which are connected together and added on to the antenna adaptor (with what we used to call a goose neck to change the angle of the antenna).  This puts the overall length at just over 2m ( Which is about right using a rough calculation of 72/Freq in Mhz  which we used for copper wire)
