What are you using for the cables? They look about as realistic as i've seen.

Thanks MP :)

The thicker cabels are the ones provided in the kit, they are cooper wire and plastic ends.

The thinner one (think it is used for helping with mounting the tracks) i scrapped the kits plastic wire and used some nylon string i found along with my old toys at my fathers house, think it was used for kites (it was rolled up on a blue plastic handle.
It is nice because you don't have all the small threads sticking out from it like with cotton string etc. and I found some cable ends from Tamiya and cut them to fit the original mounts. when i placed it i "painted" the wire with zap-a-gap superglue to make it stay in the desired shape.

Thanks Mats. I think those cables really look great & may try something similar for my Tiger-I :hmmm :drinks
