matt

With glue...

I usually use a small drill in a pin wise and drill out the antenna base. Then I attach the antenna with ordinary plastic cement or super glue.

On a model----with glue
In real life---they screw in

Hey! No sh*t Sherlock? :-) :-) :-)

LO Erik.

well i was only say because on the sherman there isnt a hole put it (turrert) into jst were a plastic looking spring comes up,should i take it out and drill a hole or glue it to it straight on.

i have found that drill and glue is best for me, it gives the antennae a secure holding as well.

i use .010 guitar strings for my antennae

Hi Matt,

drilling a small hole is definitely a help. Get hold of something called a "pin vise" which looks like a pencil or small screwdriver with a locking collet (or jaw) on the end. This grips what is a very small drill bit and makes it far easier to control. They aren't expensive, (I got a set for about £4) and come either as a set with differing drill widths or one item with a chuck like a power drill. Either way, it's a very handy thing to have and takes Dremel or equivalent drill bits.

Do it by hand. A power tool like a Dremel will just burn the plastic.

you can also use a hypodermic needle (my english baad, someone correct me if this isn't the appropriate word)
of appropriate size to drill small holes by hand. It's quite handy and works for me.
