Schumo-Kits Tiger I Metal Tow Cable Holder Set
<span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: larger">Hi,
I am thinking of upgrading my Tamiya Tiger 1 with Schumo-Kits <font face="Arial">Tiger I Metal Tow Cable Holder Set.
Has anyone used this upgrade and how is it installed- do you need to cut away part of the hull?
Cheers

You should in future just ask the question. The Schumo kit is a bolt on, available here:

If you are in UK as I think you are I'm sure the UK boys will tell you where to get them a tad closer than New Jersey.

You could make them functional using these .80 wing-nuts and .80 screws or bolts. Here is the link to the vender that sells them 6th Scale Icons. I have a set and they are close enough to 1/16 to work. See the comparison to the 1/16 scale photo etch wing-nuts in the photo. http://www.6thscaleicons.com/

I take it your all metal Tiger came without these parts.
It’s sad to confuse quality limited run parts made in Germany to mass produced pot metal made in China

Id say more workmanship went into the tow cables and smoke launchers and barrel that came with the model then some tiny straps of metal with some wing nuts that's not even functional.
I wouldn't discount the imex all metal tiger as a cheap heng long. If you own oned you'd know where I'm coming from.

I have one it's, it's not a henglong but it's no where near the quality of the schumo stuff. FYI I scratch built the cable holders etc using the schumo screws. Cost couple £ in materials and £10 of butterfly screws. When painted you will struggle to tell the difference.

I think those are actually Taigen (at least the cables), you can get them at Taigen Tanks or Imex. They have them in several sizes and also cables marked for the Leo.

I have cables from Axel’s being delivered. If for some reason those don’t work, I’ll look into the Taigen cables.
