Tankster
Hey, just trying to help out here.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this....
......'cause it's no big secret.
BUT ........
Those red and white poles are for cleaning the main gun (they screw together to extend long enough to clean the barrel) and should be the tank base color or a natural wood finish.
There's some speculation as to the accurate finish but the gun cleaning rods aren't red and white.
You have them painted as ranging 
poles which
are used by artillery units.
Actually the proper name is Aiming Posts. Aiming posts are used as a reference point once a weapon is "laid" or surveyed onto the azimuth of fire.
The aiming posts are painted with red and white stripes that are usually about 6"inches wide. In 1/35 scale that's about 0.18 inches.
