Add authentic braided lines to engines and chassis

The Tamiya 12663 Braided Hose Mesh Pipe is a ready-to-use detail-up part for model builders wanting realistic metal-mesh tubing. It reproduces the look of factory braided hoses and is a straightforward way to enhance both car and motorcycle kits.

Real-looking mesh with practical flexibility

Inside the mesh is a plastic tube that keeps the piece flexible while the metal mesh gives the textured, metallic appearance. With an outer diameter of 2.6mm and a total length of 1 metre, you get enough hose to fashion multiple runs or replace lot of short sections.

Clean installation and discreet fittings

Included end plugs are designed to seat into common pin fittings for a tidy finish. That makes installing brake pipes, fuel hoses, or oil lines quick and gives a professional-looking result without bulky joins.

Specifications

  • Outer Diameter: 2.6mm
  • Length: 1m
  • Material: Plastic core with metal mesh coating
Engine bays, brake calipers and exposed fuel lines are great places to use this braid. It adds a believable metallic finish where plain tubing would look out of place.
No special tools are required. Precision cutters, a fine-file and tweezers are enough to trim the hose and seat the plugs cleanly into place.
After fitting, pick out highlights with a dry-brush of silver or metal paint on the mesh, and seal with a clear coat to protect the finish during handling.
