Does anyone know of any Rachet straps and the chain tightners?? It looks like there's some rachet straps in the new legend Stryker set... but it's kinda hard to tell for sure. Maybe 1/24 for the chain tightners?

You'll find some ratchets in Eduard's PE set 35844 for the Leclerc (9 small and 4 large). There are some in Voyager's Leclerc set #35073 as well.
Talking about the chain tightners, like the turbuckles included in DML's M26A1 Pershing kit, or Italeri's M925 Shelter truck kit (#367), I remember coming across some white metal ones one day (or maybe it was only a daydream, as I can't remember the maker .. ) . I know that Grandt Lines makes some in 1/48th scale.
