Hobbyists looking to add fine detail will find the Tamiya 70026 Transparent Pla-Plate handy on the bench. The set supplies five sheets at 0.2mm thickness that suit fine trimming, patching and creative shaping tasks. They are a good choice when you need an unobtrusive material that keeps original paint or decals visible.
Tamiya materials are favoured for predictable machining and finish. The transparent plates let you layer parts without hiding underlying graphics. Their slim 0.2mm profile makes them appropriate for thin overlays and subtle structural supports that must remain light.
Use a sharp hobby knife and score multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut, then snap along the line for a crisp edge. A light touch with fine grit paper cleans up the cut edges well. Most model adhesives and CA glue will hold these plates; allow extra cure time for thin surfaces.
These Pla-Plates are handy for window masks, interior braces, trim pieces and custom vents. Their low thickness is perfect where clearance and appearance matter most on scale models.
