About product

Firma49 1:48: parts for the towing cables of British vehicles

A detail accessory in 1:48 scale from Firma49. The name defines its contents as parts for the towing cables of British vehicles. This is a standalone set for a model that is already built or part-built, not a kit of the vehicle.

What makes the smaller scale different

In 1:48 the towing cable on the hull is barely a couple of centimeters long, so every simplified shape is more glaring than on larger models. A molded end fitting here takes up a fairly large part of the whole length of the cable, and it is exactly its replacement that shifts the appearance most markedly. For the cable itself, a very fine thread or a thin wire rope works best in this scale; coarser material would look like a hawser.

How to proceed

First lay the small parts out on a light surface so that you can see them. Open out the hole in the end fitting with a needle as required, fit the cable dry and only then fix it. Dose the super glue with the tip of a wire, because a drop from the bottle would flood the whole part in this scale and round off its edges. It also pays to work over a tray or a spread-out cloth: a part of this size that falls on the floor is hard to find. Apply the paint in thin coats so that the shape of the fitting stays visible.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers of military vehicles in 1:48 scale
  • Builders of British vehicles of the Second World War
  • Those interested in fine accessories where plastic is not enough
  • Those who have experience of working with small parts

FAQ

It is made for 1:48 scale, so the parts are smaller. You can compare the contents of the two sets from the information on their boxes.

The name gives only parts for towing cables, so it is better to count on a wire rope of your own.

For the joint between a small part and a thread, super glue dosed in minute amounts works well.

The parts are very small in this scale, so tweezers and a little practice come in handy.
