If you do fine-scale work on bodies and accessories, the Tamiya 70026 Transparent Pla-Plate is a useful bench staple. Each pack has five 0.2mm sheets that suit delicate shaping, trim pieces and light reinforcing tasks without adding noticeable mass. They let you build small features while keeping the original look intact.
Tamiya components are built for consistent model use, and these Pla-Plates cut, sand and glue predictably. The clear material keeps layers visible and works well under decals or paint masks. At 0.2mm they are thin enough to use for subtle detail without compromising fit.
Score with a fresh blade against a guide for straight cuts, then snap for a tidy edge and refine with fine sandpaper. For bonding, cyanoacrylate or model cements are typically effective; try a test join first to confirm finish. Avoid aggressive heat when shaping to prevent distortion.
Use these sheets for window trims, vents, thin brackets and layered detailing where clearance is tight. Their low profile makes them ideal for scale-accurate enhancements on cars and small custom projects.
