Fuel hose in 1/72 scale?

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up using something from Radio Shack - what they called "magnet wire," three different gauge spools sold as a 3-pack. I painted a length of the 30-gauge wire with several coats of flat black acrylic paint and it looks real enough for me, and more importantly, to scale. But I decided not to try and build a functioning nozzle for the end, just adding a big dab of steel colored paint instead.

Try a thin piece of spaghetti..... I know it sounds hilarious.

However, I have seen it used in a diorama as fire hoses for a Battle of Britain firefighter diorama in Model Buildings Masterclass by Roy Porter. His method was to use it slightly "cooked" and then placed on the diorama as required and then painted.

using solder would probably be your best bet,

there are quite a few diameters to choose from.

it,s supple enough to  create realistic bends and folds.

and a lot of auto/truck modelers use it for hoses and such, on engines and also for automotive plumbing!

hope this helps

good luck
