About product

Steel tow cables 1:35 for heavy tanks

The set brings scaled-down tow cables for heavy tanks in 1:35 scale. It replaces the plastic or rubber imitations that come with large kits and that look hard, straight and structureless on a finished model. Braided metal cable, by contrast, sags naturally and holds the shape you bend it into, and on the top of a hull that shows at first glance.

About the maker

Royal Model is an Italian brand specializing in resin and photo-etched accessories for models of combat vehicles. It offers cables in several variants; this one is marked for heavy tanks, while other numbers in the line are aimed at lighter types. They differ in the diameter and length of the cable, so choose according to the real vehicle you are building.

How to work with the cable

Before cutting, wet the ends of the cable with a drop of super glue, which prevents the braided strands from fraying. Measure the length directly on the model, not from a drawing. The metal surface is smooth, so degrease it before painting and go over it with a thin coat of primer, otherwise the paint cracks in the bends. A cable looks convincing when it is dark and tarnished, with a hint of rust where it bends and a light rub of graphite pencil lead on the edges, where the metal would be polished in service.

Who the set is for

  • builders of German and Soviet heavy tanks in 1:35
  • modelers tuning a model to competition quality
  • diorama makers whose top hull surface is seen close up
  • anyone bothered by the stiff plastic cable from the box

This is an accessory for a model under construction. Paints and glue are not in the package.

FAQ

It is intended for heavy tanks, that is for a thicker and longer cable. Other numbers in the line are sized for lighter vehicles and have a different diameter.

Saturate the place of the cut with a drop of super glue first, let it dry and only then cut with sharp nippers.

Yes. Degrease it with alcohol or detergent and apply a thin primer, otherwise the paint flakes off when it is bent.
