A minimum of material, a maximum of fun!

I've taken off the wonky stretched sprue aerials and replaced them with Accurate Armour carbon fibre aerial wire (normally used on AFV models). I think it makes a big difference -

Yup; would agree that makes a difference for the better

I concur. Nothing beats a stiff appendage

Indeed it doesn't!!!!.
(Antennae look excellent by the way).

It was a great tip I got regarding the aerials. I don't normally build 1/35 armour so wasn't aware that you could obtain off the shelf aerial material.

That's made all the difference, Eric. I wasn't aware of the availability off the shelf antenna material for military vehicles either but in any case I'm far too tight to pay for anything like that

It certainly bumped up the price of the model - from .99p for the pack of ping pong balls to £13.00
