Black Ops 5010 1/35 Footman Loops – Military Vehicles & Tanks

This finely detailed 1/35 scale set replicates continuous footman loops-strips of low-profile tie-down fittings used on military vehicles for securing tools, gear, and stowage.
Kit Contents:
5 lengths of 3D-printed continuous tie-down strips, supplied in a protective cage for easy handling and undercoat painting.
Loops can be cleanly removed from the cage with a sharp blade and glued into place on your model.
Also known as footman loops, pad eyes, or tie-down loops, these fittings provide repeated anchor points along a bar or plate.
They originated in the carriage era-named after the ”footman” who ran beside horse-drawn coaches-and were later adapted for military and automotive applications.
On real armoured vehicles and tanks, footman loops secure soft equipment, tools, and gear directly to the hull or turret, often using leather or webbing straps.
Continuous strips are ideal where multiple anchor points are needed in a row, making them common on hull sides, storage racks, and recovery gear mounts. Unlike heavy-duty transport rings, these loops are designed for field stowage rather than lifting loads-giving your diorama or kit a realistic, mission-ready appearance.
Perfect for adding an extra layer of authenticity to WWII through modern-era builds, this set will enhance any military vehicle model with true-to-scale detail.
