I had an issue with a couple models and the hydraulic hoses. I was wondering what you all use to replicate the hydraulic hoses on your models??? Now this is for 1:50 scale only as I do have other models in different scales. The models I have that need hoses are a couple trackhoes for now, the hose material has broken and come off the models.

Thanks for any help with this!! Oh and I know about using small Guage wire and/or the insulation off the wire, I just didn't know what other options there are!!

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

I use brass rod for hard lines, stretchy beading cord for soft lines and beading crimps for the connectors. There are a lot of different size options so you can pick one that is closest to what you need.

Ok, thanks, I have an extensive knowledge of what your talking about as my other half does a lot of beading and similar crafts!!
