dostacos, I believe that Verlinden makes some. Good luck in your search. Maybe someone else can give you a tip to make some good looking tow cables.

Hudson and Allen Studios used to make some if they’re still around.

You can make your own using twisted wire such as that used for hanging pictures or even using thread if you can find one that doesn’t fray.

Kayarta, or something close to that. Check Great Models site, go to the manufacturers list for armor accessories, and you’ll find them. But I’ve found them hard to get a hold of. (The cables, not Great Models). I bought a set for my Tiger on e-bay, but I haven’t used them yet. The reviews I’ve read are VERY favorable.

Good luck

Thanks, the name is Karaya.

Air Conection is the exclusive importer [Great models says they have them as a special order]

Aber also has some listed on Great Models.

The Sherman specific includes several barrels for the 30cal machine guns

I bought some Accurate Armor tow cables thru GreatModels. They are easy to make. You get a piece of actual metal cable plus two white-metal cable ends. Can’t remember how much, but I bought three at one time. Have used one and getting ready to use another!

HTH!

Hudson and Allen ones are still available that Robert mentioned. I just added some to my Panther build. I picked them up at a LHS but have seen them on the net. Of coarse I did’nt save the site but I found it on google. I like them allthough wound up using the plastic kit ends instead of white metal since I could not get a drill bit small enough.

Here’s a couple of places that have them

You can make one using bicycle cables. There are two types, the brake and the shifter cables. The shifter cables are much more thinner than the brake cables. They are quite stiff, but it looks great.[:)]
