About the Tamiya 70160 Pla-Plate

The Tamiya 70160 Heat Shrink Pla-Plate in white gives modellers a fine, manoeuvrable sheet for custom RC work. At 183mm x 258mm and only 0.2mm thick, it is suited to delicate detailing, overlays and interior accents on model bodies.

Styling and Finishing Techniques

This white pla-plate takes well to oil-based markers and coloured pencils so you can layer colour and texture before fitting. It is useful for mock-ups, trim lines and cosmetic panels where neat, small-scale finish matters.

Practical RC Uses

The heat-shrink quality of the Tamiya 70160 sheet helps it conform to compound curves, letting you form lightweight panels and custom fittings without adding much mass. Its thinness preserves handling balance while permitting practical cosmetic upgrades.

Yes, it accepts many hobby paints after light sanding and a suitable primer; test paint adhesion on a scrap first to choose the best primer.
A powerful hair dryer may work for gentle shrinking, but a low-setting heat gun gives faster, more controllable results for tighter contours.
At 0.2mm the sheet is mainly cosmetic, but when formed over a frame or layered it can provide useful abrasion protection and minor stiffening.
