Hello all,

I’ve been reading some online reviews on this kit and the downside to it that almost each review had was that the kit supplied poorly done string tow cables. I recently ordered one in with the intention of decking it out with PE, but the kit in itself came with metal tow cables rather than the string.

It seems that the newer kit revisions include the properly done metal tow cables now. Kit seems really good.

So this leaves you with a kit without proper towing cables, right?

I got a set of aftermarket cables from RMG in Portugal, but Eureka also makes cables.
If you are interested in RMG, they are here:

You probably need set RM054 but ask the owner because he has other sets for the Leopard 2 series, depending on what exact type you are building

Hello,

The newest revision of the kit (like the one that shipped for me), comes with metal cables. Now I have 2 sets of metal tow cables, one from Meng and one from the Voyager set.

The RMG ones look amazing though.
