Ben Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I remember seeing somewhere, radiator hose with writing on it (I think?) I was wondering if anyone offers scale spark plug wire with writing on it?
Harry P. Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I remember seeing somewhere, radiator hose with writing on it (I think?) I was wondering if anyone offers scale spark plug wire with writing on it? In 1/24 scale??? Impossible.
Ben Posted September 25, 2010 Author Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) In 1/24 scale??? Impossible. Well, it don't have to be legible, just something that represents words, little dashes or whatever. Edited September 25, 2010 by Ben
Brett Barrow Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I think the heater hose was just some kind of electronics wire that had printing on it, don't think it was meant to replicate "Gates" or "Goodyear" or whatever printing is on real hoses, was just a happy coincidence. You could probably take a white gel pen and make little marks on plug wire and get a similar effect.
Harry P. Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Well, it don't have to be legible, just something that represents words, little dashes or whatever. Use a tiny brush and some flat white acrylic and D.I.Y. A few months ago we ran a feature in the magazine on a 1/12 Corvette...the model was featured on the cover (Big Scale Beauty). That's exactly what the builder (David Eicherly) did. Painted little dashes on the wiring... it looked pretty good.

Modelmartin Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Check out some of the Slixx funny car sheets. They have spark club lettering decals on them!!! Yes. I have never seen anyone use them but thay exist. I think they are on the generic funny car detail sheet along with the blower belt decals and lots of contingency markings and head and tail light decals.
Chas SCR Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) Also Scale Modeling by Chris has some too. But like Harry said it would be basicly out of scale if you can read them. . Edited September 25, 2010 by Chas SCR
