Fine Scale Work with Tamiya 70174 Plastic Beams

Hobbyists focused on custom builds will appreciate the versatility of Tamiya 70174 Plastic Beams. These 1mm round rods are made for detailed additions and light structural support on models of all kinds.

How Modders Use the 1mm Beam

Common uses include internal bracing, trim pieces, and bespoke fittings where thin, consistent material is needed. Their slim profile means you can strengthen areas without noticeable bulk, useful for lightweight racing or display models.

Durability and Ease of Use

Tamiya components are known for uniform quality, and these beams are no different. They are straightforward to cut, shape, and glue, giving predictable results for repairs or custom parts fabrication.

Do these beams bend or snap under load?

They have some flex but are not meant for heavy load bearing. Use them for light reinforcement and detail work rather than high-stress joints.

Can I use these on painted surfaces?

Yes, they can be attached to painted areas using appropriate adhesives. Test glue compatibility on a scrap piece of paint first to ensure a good bond.
