Not really usefull. I don't understand why there are so many sets which are not essentials even useless. 6€ for a thing which measures 5 millimeters. That makes 1 euro by millimeter. That's crazy.

Alex I would argue it is worth the money for the cable alone as it is the best cable I have come across when it comes to ease of use and realism. I can almost promise that if you give these a try you will use them all of the time, and if you are concerned about price just buy the cable on its own.

I'm agree a wire cable is in general more realistic than a plastic cable. And we can set up it as we want, this is not the case with a plastic cable.

I think it's 1 Euro per 1 centimeter. Maybe 1/10 as crazy as you thought. Hahaha!

I understand your comments about cost, but I would say that cost is subjective with any item we as modellers purchase. I have not seen a full product in the flesh from RMG, but I have reviewed a set of their various cables and I was very impressed with them and I will purchase more in the future. I was also not the only person impressed as a number of members also purchased them on the strength of that review and were also very pleased with both the product and the customer service provided. The average cost of a specific vehicle tow cable and the resin eyes is about £5, I do not consider that an excessive amount of money for a very detailed product to add to a model. I would also add that when you consider the cost of some of the items we purchase for our models this is a real bargain and an accurate product.
