As said earlier I used the Haya tow cables but couldnt get them to sit quite right
Then i remembered i had the original plastic tow cables from my Jagdpanther build
These cables are different from the normal tow cables usually supplied by Heng Long
They are a rubbery flexible plastic
So i cut the ends of them and after sizing them I glued the Tongde cable ends on and they really do sit nicer on the tank

That's a great solution Alan. I have been looking in vain for tow cable ends for my Conqueror. With all these British tanks coming on stream I would have thought there would be some sort of 1/16 accessory aftermarket for these tanks but nothing I can find. Same with the headlights for it. They are much different from the Centurions which I thought I could use to replace the beyond fragile 3D printed ones that are on the Conqueror now that disintegrated on mounting and look terrible
