I'm building a 1/350th German u-boat type IXc/42,and had a couple of questions on the antennas.
So,I would like to know in 1/350th scale,how do you make the insulators on the wires/antennas?
Also,what would be the best material to use for the antennas in 1/350th scale? stretched sprue? Maybe something better?
Thank you.

Insulators in this scale are best achieved using tiny dabs of white glue added with
a needle. Try to work them in as circular as you can get them.
In 1:350 scale I use invisible thread the kind magicians use to do their tricks.
I paint this thread a gray/brown color and the insulators a deep translucent green.
