Tow Ropes is a resin set of tow ropes for models of military vehicles in 1:35 scale by Copper State Models. It is not a vehicle kit but an accessory that replaces the coarser parts from the box on a finished model.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Tow Ropes set is a modeling accessory, not a vehicle model. It holds the parts of tow ropes in 1:35 scale intended to replace the standard plastic castings on a kit that is already built. Tow ropes are among the most conspicuous external details of armored and cargo vehicles alike, so on them the difference between a part from a mold and a separate accessory shows at first glance.
A tow rope runs along the hull or the fenders of a vehicle and ends in eyes that are hooked onto attachments and hooks. An injection mold manages this assembly only in simplified form: the rope tends to be merged with its backing, the eyes are blanked off and the cross-section of the rope is square. A separate set handles both the shape and the surface more accurately and allows the rope to be run as on the real subject, that is with slack and a natural sag. Compare the shape of the rope with the subject you are building before you buy.
First wash the resin parts in lukewarm water with dish soap, because otherwise the remains of the mold release agent prevent the paint from holding. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw or a sharp cutter, and never break them off. When sanding, work wet and protect your airways. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, as an ordinary glue for plastic will not join resin. Apply a primer before painting. The rope itself looks good in a dark metallic shade, fine-tuned with a dry brush and rusty tones in the places where it has worn.
