About product

Top Studio 1.0 mm clear tube, a 2 m length

A clear, transparent modeling tube 1.0 mm in diameter in a 2 meter length by the Japanese manufacturer Top Studio, a specialist in detail parts for models of motorcycles, cars and formula machines. It is a detailing material, not a kit: you are buying the raw material from which you make the lines on the model yourself. Clear means transparent: you see through it, so whatever you thread inside shows. That is how it differs from the translucent range, which lets light through but scatters it; that one is milky and you cannot make out an image through it.

Use

  • The heaviest lines on a model, that is fuel and brake hoses, oil and coolant lines, intakes and vents.
  • Thicker cable looms and wiring conduits where a thin tube looks poor.
  • Threaded over a wire, so that the line holds its shape and does not spring back; ideal for long bends along a frame.
  • Threaded over a thinner colored tube or a braid, to imitate transparent hoses and crimped fittings.
  • Offcuts as collars, fittings and ferrules at the joints.

Which diameter to choose

The diameter is chosen according to the scale of the model and the purpose. 1.0 mm is the thickest in the clear range and suits above all large scales and heavier lines: a motorcycle in 1:12 or a formula car with proper fuel hoses carries it without trouble, while on a small car in 1:24 it may look oversized, and 0.8 mm is the better choice there. Because one model usually needs several line thicknesses at once, 1.0 mm is typically complemented by the clear 0.8 mm and by the translucent variant in 0.6 and 0.8 mm for fine wiring and cables.

Who it is for

For modelers who do superdetailing and want a model that stands up close inspection; this kind of part makes the difference between a built kit and a competition model. It suits builders of motorcycles in large scales and of racing and formula cars, where the fluid lines are clearly visible.

This is not a kit but a detailing material. Wire, glue and paints are not included in the package. Cut squarely with a sharp scalpel so that the end is not left squashed.

FAQ

The clear one is transparent like glass: you see through it, so the wire or the colored tube you thread inside shows. The translucent one lets light through but scatters it; it is milky and you cannot make out an image through it. They are two separate sub-ranges from the same manufacturer, not one and the same thing.

When you are building in a large scale (a motorcycle in 1:12, a formula car) or making the main fuel, brake and cooling lines, where the hose should be visibly thicker. For fine wiring, cables and smaller scales 1.0 mm is needlessly coarse, so reach for 0.8 or 0.6 mm.

The manufacturer does not state the exact composition. It is a flexible modeling tube intended for making lines on a model.

A proven method is to thread a wire of the matching thickness through the tube. The wire holds the bend and the tube provides the surface and the diameter. The exact wire thickness has to be tried out, because the manufacturer does not declare the inner bore of the tube.
