I received the new IDF towing cables from RMG resin models. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009311378894
The box consists of 4 resin towing eyelets, 4 lengths of cable, one type is thicker that the other and 2 tube sections. The towing eyelets are very accurate when compared to photos of the real item.
The cable will hold its shape when put in any position, as it has a metal strand at the core with the outer section wrapped around it. There are two silver tube in the kit and one is used on each cable.
This is a really nice set and will add to my IDF armour kits. I have used thread for towing cables for a long time now, as I found the metal ones on the market would not sit or stay whee I wanted them.

They look to be quite a bit more detailed than the Eureka cables, which I've always thought were excellent. The inclusion of the sleeves is a very nice touch also.
