Transparent Styrene Panel for Custom Work

Tamiya 70124 Plastic Plate at 1.0mm thickness is well suited to builders who craft bespoke parts or alter kits. The clear sheets measure 36.4cm by 25.7cm and give ample space for patterns, cutouts and scaled projects.

Great for Detailed Modifications

The clarity of the material helps when tracing templates and aligning pieces. It is rigid enough for small structural components yet flexible enough to be trimmed and heat-formed for custom shapes.

Where Hobbyists Use It

These plates are handy for making light body panels, interior components, or scale details for workshops and display models. Their ease of trimming and finishing makes them a reliable workshop staple.

Is the sheet suitable for vacuum forming?

Thin styrene like this can be used for small vacuum-formed parts if heated evenly; test with scrap pieces first to avoid warping key sections.

Will it hold up outdoors?

The sheet is durable for model use but prolonged UV and weather exposure can cause fading or brittleness; consider UV-resistant coatings for outdoor applications.

Can I bend the sheet for curved panels?

Small bends can be achieved with controlled heating; avoid overheating which can melt the styrene. Use a jig to keep consistent curves.

How do I get clean glue joints?

Lightly roughen mating surfaces, apply solvent cement sparingly, and clamp until set. For overlays, thin cyanoacrylate with accelerator can speed up the bond.
