Overview of the Tamiya 70160 Heat Shrink Sheet

The Tamiya 70160 Heat Shrink Pla-Plate in white is tailored for hobbyists who need a slim, workable sheet for custom RC parts. Sized at 183mm x 258mm and 0.2mm thick, it is ideal for trim pieces, decals backing and fine shaping tasks.

Decoration and Marking Options

These pla-plates respond well to oil-based markers and coloured pencils, letting you add panel lines, shading or simple graphics before applying to your model. Their surface is forgiving for trial layouts and small paintwork.

Where to Use in RC Builds

The heat-shrink feature of the Tamiya 70160 makes it practical for conforming to curved shells and tight spots. Use it to produce light cosmetic panels, protective overlays or templates for more complex parts.

Keep sheets flat in a dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to avoid warping; store between boards if you need extra protection.
Yes, you can laminate sheets with suitable glue to build up thickness for stronger panels or raised details.
A sharp hobby knife yields the cleanest cuts for intricate shapes; a pair of fine scissors is fine for simple outlines.
Controlled heat shrinking helps the sheet cling to compound curves, improving fit for overlays and trim without adding bulk.
