Here my Zuikaku island and radio masts in 1/350. I use 2 thicknesses of Uschi thread (now Mig).

Thanks Dan and Rick

1/700 my eyes would pop out at that scale lol

Using resin to attach infini thread, learning as I go

In 1/700 scale and likely in 1/350 scale as well, ALL RIGGING in scale is impossible to see. I know just my opinion, but I don't bother with it.

Probably. Wire tends to be thinner for the same strength as, say, a halyard.

In 1/700, it would be hard to distinguish between the two.

WW2, sorry. Most navies especially IJN

what ship & time period?

Good evening from S Wales!

Sorry maybe a simple question but?

I am having a go at rigging for the first time. I assume the radio antenna rigging was thinner than the general rigging etc?

Thanks bob
