Fsttanks

They are nothing special.The antennas are simple “piano” wire, small spring for their bases and sections of electrical shrink warp. They are slightly thicker then scale antenna as I needed them to be stout and able to handle moving through tall brush and surviving getting snagged.

When I built my first stug I looked around at antennas and finally settled on .5 mm styrene rod. It's cheap, it holds up well, and you can just hit it with a black Sharpie and it looks great. You can get a pack of 5 or more rods for under $10 and it's usually enough to make about 15 antennas. That's cheap enough that I usually don't worry if one snaps off or something. Just stick in a new one.

Doesn't anyone still make antennas by heating a piece of sprue, that came with the model, over a candle flame and then drawing it out into a tapered rod?

On static models and much smaller scales I did. But for a 1/16 RC tank, piano wire rules.

Wonderful work
