Does anyone use heatshrink to model the hoses on water cranes? If so,
what size, please?

It's too stiff and looks nothing like a floppy water crane hose.

The heat resistant sleeving that comes with some light fittings may
have a  better look to it..

Although to a lesser extent than the supplied length of Hellermann
sleeving, and it does at least flatten somewhat as the prototype does
in the photos I have.

So what do you use, then?

I don't at the moment!

If you used the adhesive lined type, maybe you could shrink it on
itself forcing it to remain flat.
