The Tamiya 70161 Heat Shrinking Pla Plate gives RC modders a simple way to introduce illuminated features. It responds to heat for shaping and holds a luminous charge after exposure to light.
At 0.2mm thickness the plate is thin enough to trim and shrink into place while still producing noticeable glow. The heat-shrinking action helps the sheet tuck into recesses and follow body contours.
Apply colour with oil-based pens or pencil layers to build effects before shrinking. Use gradual heating and check fit frequently to avoid uneven shrinkage on painted shells.
