Looking for some info on the best way to build a set of tow bars for my leo or M1A2. Have seen some that go with the WWII theme but not with the present day tanks. thanks

The ones superrod has a pic of is the most accurate. I just made my own and they turned out pretty much just like those without even having any real pictures of it. they arent hard too make. just scratch build a set, get some shackles and have at it. Not that hard. i would take ma pick of mine but got no idea how to post the pic on here anymore. seems you need an AV degree to post a pic on this site anymore.

sgtparker01

I ordered these, will have to make shackles when they come in.

Got my towbar in today, put on my bulldog, not modern enough for my M1A2.

If you search on "Tusk" on Shapeways you will come across this guy: https://www.shapeways.com/product/3T...ionId=60395342 He has it listed as a "draw bar". You can barely see it behind the other stuff in the set. I know it's in 1/18 scale, but you could ask if he could re-work it in 1/16 scale since he also has stuff he has already re-worked from 1/35th scale.. There are also some modern Tusk parts and machine gun sets out there in 1/18. They are expensive though.

sgtparker01

Thanks for the info. I sent them a msg about making a 1/16 scale drawbar.

why not try using the aerial from a transmitter or pick some up @ radio shack.

sgtparker01

going to look at some stock aluminum bar and see what I can come up with.
