Tongde Centurion MK5

[Stormbringer]

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

Great solution. I’ve been looking at picture hanging wire as a solution to get cables to sit better.

An added bonus is the cables arnt flexing the cable hangers and the back panel now like the metal cables were

Gotta be happy with that little win eh Mr Stormbringer.
I would also have looked to picture hanging wire, but a harvested part is just as good

Cheers guys
