Thank you Cama.
As I was looking for 3-tone NATO, I came across 6 of the Aussie camo Abrams, so I had to add antennas, weapon station. Then netting on 3 older turrets and a couple of hulls.

Antennas
Painted vehicle..... I Use safety pin to create a hole. Small is better, but that’s why I use larger1 inch safety pin. My paint brush in black isn’t stocked by Home Depot or lLowes, go to Ace. Cut to length. Drop in old CinC box with hundreds in there. When ready I put a small puddle of glue that I dip the end of the antennas, then insert into antenna hole. If hole is too big I paint over it.
Hope you do not mind the detail.

Great work, Chris! All the little extras you add to your vehicles makes a big difference. The antennas, the commanders in the hatches, the camo netting. It looks fantastic!

Chris, you gotta go back and paint all those antennae OD. They aren't black.

OHHHHHH, DANG!!
I gotta do dat??! I didn’t paint these recent ones black. I have this sneaking suspicion that they will remain black.
How about these?

Yes, I imagine they will all remain, incorrectly, black.

The CoC uses black antennas. You are free to do as your wish in GatorNation, at least until NC or another takes over. Bwahh.
