I want to make Union Jack in 120mm scale that should be suspended on radio antenna... got some lead foil and Archer transfer, but think the whole setup would be far too heavy for the thin aereal to hold.

I've noticed some aftermarket companies sell different lead foils... .008, 016, 024... do the numbers indicate different thickneses of the foil? Any ideas how do I make the flag "stick" to radio aereal? Do I just glue it on or what? In 120mm scale the connection of the flag to aereal would be noticable... how do they suspend the real things on antennas?

Any thoughts?

Mario.
