Tamiya 12663 2.6mm Braided Hose Mesh Pipe - Scale Model Detail-up  [12663]

Give your scale builds believable metal-mesh tubing

For modelers aiming for accurate workshop-level detail, the Tamiya 12663 Braided Hose Mesh Pipe adds convincing mesh-wrapped tubing to car and bike kits. This detail-up item recreates the look of metal-sheathed hoses found on full-size machines, lifting the realism of engine bays and exposed lines.

Authentic texture with flexible construction

The braided hose uses a plastic inner tube covered by a finely woven metal mesh. That combination reproduces the appearance of real braided lines while remaining flexible enough to route around tight areas. The pipe measures 2.6mm across and comes as a 1m length, giving plenty of material for custom runs and repairs.

Neat fitment and tidy joins

Included attachment plugs are sized to slip into common pin-type connectors for a discreet, secure join. This makes it straightforward to add realistic brake lines, fuel lines, or coolant hoses without bulky adhesives or messy joints.
