Scale Antennas

How about using mini reare earth magnets disguised as ceramic insulator. That way you could easily disconnect the rigging everytime you need to remove the deck

I thought about that. Just might give it a try.

Do you mean the antenna rigging connecting the conning tower to the bow and the stern? For my Revell model I simply left them off entirely. Makes removing the deck much easier. At that scale you’re looking at a thin wire, either piano wire or electric guitar strings.

Of those of you that run with scale antennas fore and aft, what practical material and attachments do you use?
1/72 U505. Three piece deck and removable conning tower.
