Sorry so small.

 

Those look to be 3"- 4" diameter. At least they are old school round and not rubber castings.

At the scale; a hefty 1/4" diameter. You might try sculpy for the tube, bake it. Then wrap with fine wire leaving the spaces. It's not a vacuum cleaner type hose, more like a dryer vent.

Cool, show us what works.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Picture didn't work, but if they are corregated hoses, I have softened plastic rod to basic shape and then wound fine wire around it.  Then several coats of primer to fill in and smooth.

I'm looking for ideas to purchase or make air intake hoses for 1/12 scale Countach kit. Kit has nothing, the airboxes just end at a .3" stub.
