Does anyone know where that spool of cable goes? Do you unrole it and place it somewhere on the vehicle or in the hands of the mechanics figure set? Or do you just place it roled up on the vehicle?
Also where does the figure go that came with the vehicle?

Here is a photo of the wire cable wrapped around a box and the figure mounting the vehicle and removing the fake gun

Thanks, that shows the figure placement, but the cable pictured is already on the tank, there is a seperate loose cable.

I think I found the photo that Figarti used as their modeling example. Here is the web link http://www.olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_tankrecovery_t2.php

The extra wire strap is shown in the photo as being attached to the bottom center of the hull running up over the wheel block and attached to the free end of the small pipe like piece at the top (like its being run through it as if a pipe), center back of the turret.

I first tried using the extra wire strap with the standing maintence guys from ETA03, running it through the hands of the two fellows pulling together with the u-bolt on the end of the cable at the top of the tackle block being held by the third guy. But putting it on the tank makes more sense. I am using some spare cable I have for the figure set.

I belive it goes in the hands of the add-on crew after I spent a minutes trying to figure it out.
They also have a flag in the add-on set so I guess you can have them hoisting flag?
