F6F-5 tie-down rings

[LimaMike73]

Hello everyone,

I am currently planning the build of the airfirx 1:24th scale F6F-5 model and I have decided to represent it moored on a carrier deck. I already had a fairly extended google session and I failed to find any picture of those die-down rings. The pilot's handbook states they are located in the wings outter panels between stations #159½ and station #168, wich i could locate in the parts catalog figure but i could not find the rings.

So, has enyone a clue or better, a good picture of the F6F-5 tie-down rings?
Thanks in advance.

The tie down rings were held into the wings with the spring while not being used. Here you are ..

For those interested, I finaly located the tie-down rings in the parts catalog (AN 01-85FB-4) at page 554, figure 171D.
