1/12 scale wires cables, hoses etc

Hi all

Does anyone know what sort of insulated wire Tamiya use for distributor leads etc?

I need to add more detail on this model and I won't have enough spare. I tried stripping out the core of an old SCSI cable but it's too thick.

If anyone knows a supplier that would be great.

I don't know what Tamiya uses, but stores like Radio Shack are great sources for wire. I also salvage wire wherever I can (old appliances etc), as it's more readily available and way cheaper than aftermarket wire. If you look closely, you'll find that most aftermarket wire is nothing else than wire they bought in an electronics store, re-packed and marked up.
