Tamiya 70160 Heat-Shrink Pla-Plate Overview

The Tamiya 70160 Heat Shrink Pla-Plate in white is a handy material for RC hobbyists who need a thin, work-friendly sheet for custom parts. Measuring 183mm x 258mm with a 0.2mm thickness, these plates suit fine detailing, trim panels and small structural pieces.

Custom Trim and Decoration

The white pla-plate accepts oil-based markers and colored pencils easily, so you can mark, shade and personalise bodywork or interior details. Its surface is simple to work with whether you are shaping a new shell or adding overlays to existing components.

Uses for Lightweight Components

Tamiya 70160 pla-plates shrink with heat to take on tighter contours, making them useful for low-weight but reasonably strong parts. The slim profile keeps weight down while allowing durable overlays and cosmetic panels for performance-oriented builds.

Use a sharp hobby knife on a cutting mat for straight edges and fine detail; scissors work for simple curves. Score multiple times for a clean break on straight cuts.
A small heat gun on a low setting or a hobby heat tool provides controlled shrinking; work slowly and keep the tool moving to avoid overheating.
Cyanoacrylate (super glue) and some plastic-specific contact glues work well for small parts; test on a scrap piece to confirm compatibility and cure time.
