Realistic cables on scale models can be a challenge that is difficult to overcome to the satisfaction of all modellers. RMG Resin Models has produced some items that on take these potential issues head on and overcomes them. Take a look inside for more details.

Most armoured vehicles are equipped with tow cables and cables for getting damaged track back where it belongs. Model kits of armoured vehicles usually have these features included but the materials used often leave a lot to be desired. Cotton thread is one option which is poor as it usually has a frayed look to it, plastic and vinyl offerings are usually poor due to the seam lines and the stiffness in some cases. Some manufacturers supply steel cables which are usually overly stiff and so difficult to make look natural on the model, but this is usually the best in terms of supplied items. RMG Resin Models has looked at this issue and come up with an alternative solution. RMG has metal cables of various thicknesses that are made of copper and are easily shaped however the modeller desires; add to these resin eye rings with beautiful detail in the form of casting marks and numbers and you have a stunning item to add to your model. RMG has released four new sets for the modeller covering the following vehicles:

RM108-2 - STRV 103C
RM055 – Merkava family and a number of Israeli vehicles
RM122 – Leopard 2A7
RM046 – Chieftain, Challenger 1 and 2 and AS90
