3mm Square Tubing for Structural Support

Hobbyists needing neat structural pieces will appreciate the Tamiya 70261 3mm Plastic Beams. These compact square tubes are useful for reinforcing models and creating tidy connection points.

Material and Compatibility

The Tamiya 70261 beams are made from polystyrene that keeps detail and resists mild deformation. They integrate with other Tamiya beam types, including round, pipe, triangle and L shaped components, and the square section limits rotation in joined assemblies.

How Modelers Use Them

Common uses include internal bracing, alignment rails and short span supports. Score cut lines and use a precision saw or hobby knife for clean results, then deburr and dry fit before final bonding.

Surface Prep and Finishes

For a professional look, sand and prime before painting; Tamiya paints and hobby primers work well. Use plastic cement for seamless joins or CA for rapid fixes depending on your workflow.

Polystyrene can soften under prolonged heat, so avoid leaving finished models in direct sunlight for long periods to minimise any risk of warping.
They are suitable as light mounting rails or spacers, but for heavier electronics consider supplemental supports or metal brackets.
Use precise cutting, dry fit components, then bond with plastic cement for a strong joint. Reinforce with small pins or epoxy for higher loads.
