Spark plug wires

[Ben]

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.

Well, it don't have to be legible, just something that represents words, little dashes or whatever.

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.

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.

Yeah, I'll do that as a last resort. I was just hoping there was something already available.

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.

Also Scale Modeling by Chris has some too. But like Harry said it would be basicly out of scale if you can read them.
