Refine Your Scale Models with Tamiya 70173 Plastic Beams

Hobbyists focused on scale accuracy will find the Tamiya 70173 Plastic Beams useful for small structural tweaks and custom detailing. The 1mm square shape is tailored to fine modelling tasks that demand uniform sections.

Suited to Fine Modelling Tasks

These beams are practical when fabricating tiny panels, internal supports or reinforcing delicate points. Their slim cross section helps maintain scale proportions while adding necessary strength.

Simple Shaping and Installation

The beams are easy to cut and shape for bespoke components, and they accept standard model adhesives and fillers. This makes them a reliable choice when modifying kits or repairing vintage models.

Yes, prime the plastic first and use hobby paints designed for polystyrene or ABS. A light primer improves paint adhesion and evens out the surface.
The beams retain a straight profile under light loads. For any heavy load or long-span support, add multiple beams or pair with thicker bracing.
Yes, they glue well to many printed plastics when using a suitable adhesive. Sanding contact areas improves the bond with printed surfaces.
