I was thinking about putting antennas on some tanks.
What is best way to do this? |

Buy a cheap paintbrush, drill a tiny hole in the appropriate place on the tank. Insert single hair from brush, superglue. Done. Oh trim brush hair to proper length |

Best size is from a house brush |

Fine Nylon black fishing line or black Nylon brush. Clear doesn't show up & nylon doesn't paint well, can't get it in 4BO or OD. |

I use black or clear plastic bristles from a brush. This makes them flex and less likely to pop off the vehicle with handling. |

Stretched plastic sprue also works and takes paint without any issues. |

The wife's hairbrush. She'll notice eventually, but I'll have lots of antennas done before then! |

I found that the ASDA range of paint brushes that are very thin nylon bristles work well for this job. I also use longer versions for ship rigging as well . Very versatile these brushes ! |
