Tamiya 70130 Beams for Model Modding

The Tamiya 70130 3mm square plastic beams are a versatile addition to any modeller's bench. Sold in tens, these beams suit a range of small construction jobs from bespoke mounts to internal bracing on lightweight models.

Practical Uses Around the Workshop

Their small square cross section makes them easy to slot into narrow spaces and to notch for mounting points. They are a favourite for hobbyists who need to add discreet reinforcement without bulk.

Why Hobbyists Choose These Beams

These beams are valued for predictable behaviour when cut, glued, or painted. They are a convenient go-to for adding stiffness to fragile areas or fabricating simple supports across different RC platforms.

Yes, using appropriate model paints and a light scuff with fine sandpaper helps paint stick and gives a smooth finish.
They are rigid at room temperature and not designed to be bent; heating can alter shape but may weaken the material.
Cyanoacrylate or plastic-specific glues provide fast, reliable bonds; use clamps or tape while glue sets for best alignment.
They are lightweight and can be used for non-structural components on small models, but avoid relying on them for critical load-bearing parts in aircraft.
