1/12 blue flex line source
Hi all,
I'm taking my first dive into Tamiya's 1/12 F1 offerings, and I was wondering if there was an aftermarket source that offers a more accurate representation of the blue cloth covered flex lines found in several locations on the 1:1 cars. They look to be AN -6 or -8 lines. Any help would be very much appreciated! |

Re: 1/12 blue flex line source
these?
There is variety of braided lines out there, usually silver but a little paint on them make them any color you want. Some links http://www.spotmodel.com/advanced_se...s=braided+line http://www.detailmaster.com/mm5/merc...tegory_Code=FC https://www.hiroboy.com/search?q=braided+line MFH also have white metal ones but they are a bit harder to make confirm in the way you like. |

Re: 1/12 blue flex line source
I've often used round sewing elastic like garment manufacturers use. I have several spools of different sizes, all white, I can color them with paint or marker to any color desired.
Something along these lines: https://www.amazon.com/0-7mm-White-E...sewing+elastic

Re: 1/12 blue flex line source
Jeff - not sure where you live but give this a try -
https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/categor...maker/MSM.html Scroll down and you will find 0.6mm and 1.0mm Blue mesh tubing - The 1.0mm is what you're looking for that is what I used on my 1/12 FW14B Hope this will help you - Cheers john |
