Precise braided tubing for lifelike scale engines

If you want to elevate the authenticity of your models, the Tamiya 12663 Braided Hose Mesh Pipe delivers realistic metal-sheathed tubing for cars and motorcycles. The detail-up piece convincingly mimics full-size braided lines and helps bring engine bays and exposed assemblies to life.

Durable mesh with a flexible core

This product pairs a plastic inner tube with a tightly woven metal mesh outer layer. The result reproduces the look of genuine braided hoses while allowing enough flex to route through compact model spaces. The outer diameter is 2.6mm and the roll provides 1 metre of material for trimming and shaping.

Simple joins and tidy routing

Fitted plugs are included so the hose can be seated into pin-style connectors, producing a clean connection without bulky joins. That makes it ideal for enhancing brake lines, coolant runs, or other exposed details where neatness matters.

Specifications

  • Outer Diameter: 2.6mm
  • Length: 1m
  • Material: Plastic core with metal mesh coating
Yes. The plastic core gives enough flexibility for routing through cramped areas, though very sharp bends should be avoided to prevent kinking the mesh.
Absolutely. The 1m length is intended for trimming. Use fine-cutting snips and file any rough ends before fitting for the neatest result.
Superglue bonds the plugs and fittings well, but avoid excess which can stick the mesh. For plastic-to-plastic joins, a plastic cement helps create a cleaner long-term bond.
