High-detail braided hose for model enhancers

The Tamiya 12662 braided hose mesh pipe provides a true-to-life metal-mesh look for small-diameter hoses on scale cars and motorcycles. It is a useful part for anyone looking to add subtle but effective realism.

Compact diameter suits scale accuracy

The hose's 2.0mm outer diameter is chosen for scale-accurate appearance in tight engine bay locations. It is well suited to brake lines, oil feeds and other exposed runs on detailed kits.

Useful metre length for detailing work

Supplied as a 1 metre length, the mesh pipe gives enough braided hose for multiple smaller projects or a comprehensive detail job on a single model. The internal plastic core helps with neat bends and gluing.

Yes. Light washes or dry-pastel weathering produce convincing ageing. Test on a scrap piece to find the right balance without clogging the mesh texture.
You can slide small pins or 0.8-1.0mm fittings into the inner plastic tube for a secure mechanical join, then glue as required for permanence.
For durable fixes, use a combination of plastic cement on the inner tube and a spot of superglue on the braided outer for a tidy finish.
Trim to length with a sharp blade and tidy the ends with a touch of glue. Pre-fit to check routing before final adhesive application.
