Hi All,

I currently building the Tamiya Tiger I model and want to grind the molded tow cable off of the left side of the tank and replace it with a scratchbuilt one. Can anyone recommend some photos of a tiger show the latches/brackets that hold the tow cable on the side of the tank? Thanks for your assistance.

Here's a couple of shots that show most of the details. The tank is of course the one at the "Tank Museum" in Bovington.

The 'skinny' cable was actually used to winch a new, or repaired, track back over the drive sprocket. Do you also have any close-ups of the tow cable clamps stowed on the deck?
