Tamiya 74138 Precision Engraving Blade 0.5mm - Detailer  [74138]

Fine Detail Work with Tamiya 74138

Hobbyists who demand neat, repeatable lines will find the Tamiya 74138 engraving blade very useful. Built from tungsten carbide, the 0.5mm tip is made to deliver smooth, consistent cuts for panel lines and delicate accents.

Control and Range

This blade is offered as part of a set with four thickness options and features a total length of 25mm and a 2mm shank diameter, giving steady handling for intricate tasks. Use it to refine factory seams or to add finer detail where accuracy is required.

Recommended Holders and Technique

Fit the blade into Tamiya's holder (Item 74139) or compatible pin vises such as Fine Pin Vise D (Item 74050) and D-R (Item 74112). Hold the blade at a 45 to 60 degree angle and pull it gently along the surface to score; repeat passes deepen the line. Each blade is stored in a protective case that holds up to 10 blades for tidy organisation.

Colour Coding for Fast Selection

Colour marks on the shank make it easy to pick the right thickness quickly during a build or touch up job.
