Pete, I cut a bunch at one time, a stem or two, dropping them into a small clear plastic box (that used to hold micro armor). I then use black chiseled maker that I swirl around, around and around until all pieces of antennae are black, relax it will take some time.
I’ve been told that the real color is the color of the tank or predominant color. I used black ink.
Pictures for y’all

With most of these vehicles I have stripped the paint off.
With this group, I want to find Abrams turrets and machine gunners for the M113.
This group will become part of the Commonwealth Army, painted in Chris Camo (Aussie camo). You have seen that camo pattern a few time before.
These are being painted in MERDC, to serve in Estonia or Latvia. I have 6 more Abrams being stripped of paint that will be painted in MERDC, too.

Thank you Redleg.
Here use styrene to make boxes or coolers for the top of turrets or vehicles.
