Is this the right source image for this tow system?

I think yes. I did not use that as source. You may know that my main sources are 1:35 scale plastic models (hobby kits) from which I take dimensions.

so the tow is real,i knew it…ok,i just guessed.
but from toys(or plastic models) to the 3d model is a bit,so alfredix still receives credits,for the work
anyway,where do you get the models from?

In Germany you can buy them in shops for toys. or you order on the internet. some of the web shops ship worldwide
