Craft Small Scale Parts with Tamiya 70214

The Tamiya 70214 Heat-Shrinking Pla-plate gives modellers a straightforward material for fabricating tiny components. Its clear B6 format is convenient for cutting templates, forming details and producing custom fittings.

Shrink Ratio and Practical Uses

When heated in an electric toaster oven the sheet reduces to around one sixth of its starting size while its thickness increases roughly sixfold. This behavior makes it useful for creating small, rigid parts that slot neatly into model assemblies.

Colouring Techniques

Permanent markers are ideal for adding colour or panel lines to the clear Pla-plate. You can also experiment with suitable plastic paints but always trial finishes on a spare piece first.

Contents and Material Thickness

The pack includes four transparent sheets at 0.2mm thickness, providing enough stock for several detailing tasks or practice pieces.

An electric toaster oven is commonly used; heat slowly and monitor the sheet so it reaches the desired size without overheating.
Trim carefully with a sharp hobby knife and fine files or sandpaper. Work slowly to preserve shape and avoid cracking thin details.
After shrinking the Pla-plate becomes much thicker and can serve as small structural pieces, though it is best for light-duty components and decorative details.
