Hello , Great Tip. I use something similar . Years ago , my mom , used string to wrap around parcels etc. So when I was home , on leave , I aquired several feet , of this string . When you cut it , it doesn’t unravel , and the lengths , are not " fuzzy ". It looks like steel tow cable , and works perfect on the Leopard , M-60 , and M-1 tanks I have built . Use the kits cable ends , add the string , and there you go , realistic tow cables. I have looked around , but still haven’t found this " string “. For antennae , on 1/35 scale armor , I use synthetic , flexible , " broom hairs” , they look good , and don’t break off.
