Clean cuts with the Tamiya 69940 Modeler's Side Cutter Alpha

For modellers who value tidy assembly, the Tamiya 69940 in fluorescent green offers controlled cutting of plastic parts. It is aimed at detailed trimming tasks during kit builds.

Made for trimming plastic model parts

Crafted from carbon steel, the cutter keeps a sharp edge for accurate trimming. It is suitable for model kit components and Mini 4WD pieces. The jaw bears the marking "FOR PLASTIC" to remind users of its intended application.

Comfortable handling and standout colour

Elastomer grips reduce hand fatigue and deliver a positive hold for repeated snips. The bright green finish makes the tool easy to find on a workbench and carries Tamiya's twin star branding.

Will this cutter damage painted parts?

If you cut close to painted areas, take care to avoid marring the finish. Best practice is to trim sprues first, then sand and touch up paint afterwards.

Are replacement blades available?

This model uses a fixed carbon steel jaw. If the blades become worn, you should replace the tool or seek a professional sharpening service rather than force metal cutting.

What cutting technique gives the best results?

Use short, decisive squeezes and hold the part steadily. Avoid rocking the tool and make the cut close to the part to minimise the need for filing.
