Tamiya 74138 0.5mm Engraving Blade - Fine Tip  [74138]

Tamiya 74138 for Fine Engraving

The Tamiya 74138 gives modelers a reliable 0.5mm point for crisp engraving and detailing. Constructed from tungsten carbide, it is aimed at small, accurate cuts that improve kit realism.

Thickness and Fit

This blade is one of four thickness options and has a total length of 25mm with a 2mm shank diameter to match common pin vises and holders. Its dimensions support steady, accurate scribing and trimming.

Holder Compatibility and Method

Pair the blade with Tamiya's holder (74139) or compatible pin vises like Fine Pin Vise D (74050) and D-R (74112). Position the blade at about a 45 to 60 degree angle and pull gently along the area to score; repeat until the desired depth is reached. The storage case holds up to 10 blades for simple bench storage.

Shank Colour Bands

Each blade bears a colour band on the shank to identify thickness quickly so you can change blades during a build without guesswork.
