Versatile Tamiya 70122 Plastic Plate for RC Modding

Hobbyists who customise RC kits will find the Tamiya 70122 Plastic Plate a flexible material for detail work. The set contains five clear styrene sheets, each 36.4cm by 25.7cm and 0.3mm thick, suited to trimming, glazing and adding small panels to models.

Uses for Scratch Builders

The transparency makes it easy to trace templates and cut accurate shapes for windows, vents and lightweight reinforcements. Its thin profile helps preserve scale appearance while allowing precise cuts.

Bench Tips for Clean Results

Use a fresh hobby blade and a metal ruler to score and snap, and sand edges with fine paper for a neat finish. The 0.3mm thickness can be gently formed with controlled heat or steady bending for curved details.

Can I paint these sheets to match my model?

Yes. Styrene takes acrylics and enamels well; apply a purpose primer first for better adhesion and to avoid runs on such thin material.

What is the best glue to join these plates?

Solvent-based styrene cement creates the strongest bond for these sheets. Super glue works for quick fixes but may be visible on very thin edges.

How should I cut and shape the 0.3mm sheets?

Score along a straightedge with a sharp blade and flex to snap, or warm gently for gradual bends. Finish with light sanding to remove burrs.
