That's turned out well as they say!There are plenty of options for antenna wires,but many are way overscale. Even monofilament is to some extent. RAF aircraft used the "cheese cutter" IFF antenna,that's the wires that run from the tailplanes to the fuselage until 1943 but you try and see them in a photograph!
Using a kicker for your superglue is a good idea but be aware of a sometimes nuisance side effect....heat.

Agree Steve they can be way overscale. That is the beauty of elastic threads I have mentioned. They actually stretch about 7 times their ordinary length. As you stretch so the thread becomes smaller.
"Quote from little-cars.co.uk for EZ Line
There are two thicknesses
Colours available are Charcoal, Rust copper/Green(old copper) and white.
These are available in fine 0.003 inch or heavy 0.006 inch.
It is supposed to stretch to 7 times it's original length and doesn't free.
At the moment I'm selling it in reels , but am expecting to cut these down and add them to my detailing range so people can try it without having to fork out for a whole reel."
Worked out that at 1/72 .OO3 that would work out in the real size at about 5.4mm .006 at 10.9mm
1/48scale .003 at 3.6mm .006 at 7.1mm
