Default Scale antennas

Is there a good method of constructiing scale antennas? It seems to me that they would be really fragile and break off easily. Do you make yours out of balsa or use something else? I'm working on my first sort-of-scale project. Its a great planes f4u and I'm thinking about running my reciever antenna up through the scale antenna and attaching it to the tail. Some f4u-4s seem to have two wires coming out from behind the cockpit and leading to the tail. If I can't run it through the scale antenna, I might just route it from the base (shown in blue) but I think it might look better if it was run from the scale antenna (shown in red). Any tips, hints or suggestions?

Thanks,
Rob
