This 1/35th scale resin and fibre accessory kit by Rob Tearle depicts a set of Cargo securing straps for Flatrack loads for DROPS.*

The key to DROPS is the Flatrack which is loaded and unloaded (in around 30 seconds) using the Miltilift hook system. Generally the loads sit on the flatrack until used, and the 'empty' Flatrack uplifted later.

Loads (usually on pallets) are strapped on using cargo straps with ratchets.

This set includes 2m (6.5 feet) of thin strap material and an etched brass set (with plastic rod) to make up 12x Ratchets and 24 strap end hooks.

Of course these handy straps have a multitude of other uses!
