Response to Flexible Hoses for Hydraulics

Craft stores such as the Michael's franchises located in North America offer a wide variety of flexible plastic tubing in a small diameter and a variety of colors that can look very convincing as hydraulic lines and hose for 1/35th-1/32nd-1/24th scale models. It is very similar in size and composition to what you find in the large scale motorcycle models originally offered by Revell and Tamiya a few years ago. The tubing is shiny and smooth, it can be stretched or left unstressed and it is available in different colors besides the usual shiny black. It may be a PVC plastic.

Michael's and related craft stores also carry a variety of colored wire that is somce kind of an anodized metal not sure if it is aluminum or a soft metal alloy but it is plentiful and cheap when compared to similar products offered by some companies as scale model building accessories. This colored wire is also available in a variety of colors and thicknesses and in length-quantities that can provide enough material for many modeling projects.
