Re: Honda S800 Racing - Tamiya 1/24

Thanks again

I usually use a plastic rod to bend the ties/clamps with the same diameter as hose I am planing to detail. Bended ties are glued with tiny drop of CA under the hose so the glue point is hidden.
Those Top Studio clamps are very thin and easy to bend. BTW radiator hose is made of styrene rod heat-bended over ligther and painted with XF-1

What I am trying to achive are the details which are in scale. I think that throttle cable is unfortunately a bit out of scale but the rest seems OK to me.
