Modelers Hose Joints
The one Modeler's part that HLJ doesn't have a picture of. Am I correct in assuming that this is is the set of little red and blue AN type fittings with various bends to the fittings and joints? If not, what is it? What do they call it? Are there any substitutes by manufacturers other than Modelers? Do they not exist and am I on drugs?
Please elucidate!

Why not make your own ones? It's not very complicated and doesn't take forever either but saves you some bucks to put into your next project instead. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul....php?p=1946867

Re: Modelers Hose Joints
Does Evergreen make hex rod? Or Plastruct? Or someone else?

Re: Modelers Hose Joints
I just recieved some plastruct hex rods, and the how-to above is really easy to follow and make realistic fittings.

Here you go, just place your order if your LHS doen't carry Plastruct. I order directly form them without any problems at all.

Re: Modelers Hose Joints
One more thing about these hex rods, they're excellent to make your own nuts and bolts with. Just cut of a slice and apply where you want it, et voilá...you have a prefect six sided bolt/nut instead of the often round items on the models.
