Compact Tamiya 70202 U-Profile Beams for Scale Work

Tamiya 70202 beams are made for modellers who need a slim, reliable way to brace parts. The U-profile helps resist twisting while keeping installations discreet inside models and scenic builds.

Notable Details and Benefits

Dimensions: Width: 3mm, Length: 400mm, Thickness: 1mm
Material Compatibility: Compatible with standard plastic cements and paints
Design: U-shaped cross-section for enhanced structural integrity

Workability is straightforward: cut to length, fit, and bond with your usual adhesives. These beams are particularly handy when reinforcing thin styrene panels or fabricating slim internal frames.

Will these add much weight to a model?

No, the U-shaped section keeps weight low while increasing stiffness, making them suitable for lightweight builds and radio controlled model parts.

Are they easy to bend or shape?

Minor shaping can be done with careful heating, but cutting and rejoining is generally cleaner for precise work. Avoid heavy force which may crack the material.

Do they need priming before painting?

Priming is recommended for the best paint adhesion. Use a primer formulated for plastics, then apply thin coats of paint to preserve fine detail and the beam profile.
