Soft Beam Material for Model Makers

Model builders aiming for unusual shapes will find the Tamiya 70159 3mm Clear Soft Plastic Beams very useful. Made from a resin with synthetic rubber, these strips are flexible and can be bent up to 180 degrees, making them suitable for curved components and custom fixtures.

Where to Use These Clear Beams

They are handy for creating subtle trim, forming guards, or fabricating bespoke supports that need some give. The transparent finish keeps additions low profile while offering the mechanical flexibility needed for creative assemblies.

They are robust but best used in sheltered or controlled conditions; prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or harsh weather can affect the material over time.
These beams are rated to bend up to around 180 degrees when handled correctly, making tight curves and loops possible if formed gently.
Light sanding and a model-grade adhesive or a combination of small fasteners and glue will give a secure bond; trial fittings help to align pieces before final fixing.
Yes, sharp hobby knives or fine-tooth saws cut these beams neatly; clamp them down while cutting to avoid flexing and achieve a straight edge.
