Hobby Tubing for Fabrication and Detail

The Tamiya 70220 plastic pipes give modders a reliable 5mm tube option for building and customising radio controlled models. They are useful for a range of workshop jobs where thin, consistent tubing is needed.

Practical Workshop Uses

Apply these tubes as conduit for wiring, spacers between components, or to mimic pipes on scale bodies. Their lightweight profile helps keep handling and vehicle balance predictable.

Preparing and Installing Tubes

Trim with a sharp blade or fine saw, test-fit before final gluing and secure with the appropriate adhesive. Small amounts of filing will help you get smooth joints and accurate lengths.

They are mildly flexible but not designed for tight bends; if shaping is required heat and careful forming can help, or consider cutting and joining sections.
No, the tubes are lightweight and will have minimal effect on overall weight, making them suitable for both lightweight and heavier scale projects.
A sharp hobby knife, fine saw or flush cutters work well. Use fine sandpaper or a file to remove burrs and ensure clean ends.
