Question is what to use for Radio Antenna on 1/72 Scale Airplane models?

Go with Stitch-Thru invisible thread .004 nylon in the smoke color. It is the proper scale for 1:72 aircraft. I have used stretched spue but it is fragile so the thread, in most cases, works best for me.

Also 2lb. fishing line works very well.

I also recommend invisible thread. Run it through the tip of a black felt tipped marker to simulate the black anntena wire. It reacts to heat to eliminate any slack. It’s also pretty tough.

Here’s a link to a product called EZ-Line - http://www.bobeshobbyhouse.com/ezl.html I have not used this stuff. But, it looks interesting.
