RM 005 Tow Cable for AFV Ø 0.8 mm x 700mm

This package contains 700mm of twisted 0.8mm wire. Seven individual strands are intertwined to make up this cable.


RM 007 Tow Cable for AFV Ø 1.0 mm x 700mm

Again there are 7 strands twisted together and as with all the other cables presented here, it easily bends to the required shape with no springing back whatsoever.


RM 037 Tow Cable for Soviet JS 2/3/4 Tanks Model 1945

In this case the usual 7 strands are wound around a central core. There is 34cm of cable available for the modeller on which to attach the resin lugs.


RM 013 Barbed Wire 1:35 scale

The rendition of barbed wire supplied here is superb. It consists of two filaments with the barbs inserted every 8cm. These barbs even have pointed ends and the whole package is primed ready for use.

This is an excellent assortment of accessories that will fit into any diorama with ease.

Highly Recommended

Thanks to RMG Products for the review samples
