when i built 1/35 armor , i use to take the un used spruce, put it over a candle and pull on it , eventually making the Antenna that i needed ... , also some model makers do make pre made Antennas in 1/35.. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/1-35-antenna .....
hope this helps ..

Sammy:

You can also try some thin electrical wire (32 gauge or so). It is malleable, easy to find and very cheap.

Stretched sprue, as Tommy suggested, would work, as would wire, as Jason suggested. For wire, you might also want to have a look in the arts & crafts stores like Michael's, AC Moore or HobbyLobby for beading wire. Some modelers use it for rigging biplanes in small scale. It's usually available in fine gauges.

Hope that helps, prosit!

Good call on Hobby Lobby. They are bound to have something that can be used.

We've got all 3 here in the Lehigh Valley, so I'm usually passing one or the other. Great source of items that we can use.

Prost!
