Some time ago I saw resin cast tie-downs for modern vehicles and cannot remember who made them. Can anyone help me with this?

Djiti makes some very nice ones. They're the ones that come in strips, as used on such vehicles as the M1117.

Tiger Models also makes tie downs for both modern and older. But you may want to check here for how others feel about their customer service.

I always wondered how easy they were to remove from the casting block and use

Djiti's are very easy to remove. Just use a chisel blade.

Does any store in North America carry these brands? The places I usually order from don't carry them.
