Question about piping for model cars

Post by barryf1fan »

Not sure if this is the right "place" to ask this...

But I'm wondering, where do you get the piping tube/lines for 1/24 & 1/20 scale cars, ie., the coolant lines, oil lines, etc..??

For example below: wanting to try and add the lines from the radiators in this pic

Also, a place to get some of the "electrical" lines?? I was gonna build my Benetton B188 oob but am thinking about detailing it up a bit more.

Are there any places in the US to order from? I'm not even entirely sure what these items would be called to do a search. Thanks in advance for any help!! :cheers2:
