Scale aerial replacement for panzer IV

Post by SteveAFV »

I'm working on a pz IV 1/35 (Tamiya and HobbyBoss) and I was wondering what suitable material/diameter would be scale for the aerial? In the Tamiya kit they suggest stretching sprue but I can't do that one handed so though either styrene rod or brass wire. Can anyone advise?

Thanks,

Steve

I didn't do an extensive search but there are quite a few pre-made aerials for various kits on Ebay.....I suspect someone out there is bound to do one for a Panzer IV :th:

I didn't want to pay for what I already had though:-)
