Compact 8mm Square Beam Components

The Tamiya 70263 8mm plastic beams are compact square tubes that suit a wide range of modelling tasks. Builders can use them to extend frames, make braces, or form internal supports on RC vehicles and scale models.

Compatibility and Shape Benefits

Produced from polystyrene, these beams are easy to cut and paint while offering reliable structure. They accept smaller square beams like 3mm and 5mm for layered builds. The square cross section prevents the inserted beam from rotating, which helps keep assemblies true to shape.

Working with the Beams

Trim with a fine saw or hobby knife and use Tamiya plastic cement for secure joins. They are also straightforward to paint with Tamiya paints. When assembling larger frameworks, join these beams with other Tamiya beam parts to create stable constructions.

3mm inserts usually slide in cleanly; if the fit is loose a small amount of cement or a wrap of tape can secure the joint.
Yes, they are fine for light structural roles such as braces and mounts, but avoid expecting heavy mechanical strength without metal reinforcement.
A sharp hobby knife, fine saw, sanding sticks and Tamiya cement will cover most trimming, finishing and joining tasks.
