Customise RC Bodies with Tamiya Pla Plates

The Tamiya 70003 Pla Plate Assortment is intended for modelers who want flexible options when modifying or detailing RC kits. The assortment includes multiple thicknesses to match a range of projects.

Sheet Thicknesses and Typical Uses

You get plates in 1.2mm, 0.5mm and 0.3mm, allowing fine panel work as well as parts that need a bit more stiffness. Use the thicker sheets for structural patches and the thinner ones for trim or accents.

Working the Material

These pla plates cut cleanly and shape well with common hobby tools, making them suitable for trimming bodies, fabricating vents or reinforcing mounts. They are popular with modders who prefer custom-fit parts.

How do I cut these plates neatly?

Use a sharp hobby knife for fine cuts and a small saw or scoring technique for thicker sections, then finish edges with fine sandpaper.

Are these plates paintable?

Yes, after a light scuff with fine abrasive and a suitable primer, most hobby paints will adhere to the plastic sheets.

Will they work for vintage body repairs?

They are well suited to repair or recreate panels on older shells where matching thickness and flexibility is important.

Any tips for gluing curved surfaces?

Warm the sheet slightly and trim oversize so it conforms; use contact adhesive or hot glue for temporary holds before final bonding.
