Versatile B4 Foam Sheets for Model Construction

This Tamiya 70196 kit contains six B4-format sheets (257x364mm) at 1mm thickness that suit a wide range of modelling tasks. These panels are especially handy when you need flotation inserts or want to cut down mass on small flyers.

Applications for RC Hobbyists

The board's even surface makes routing, joining and decorating straightforward, so it is excellent for both new builds and retrofits. It accepts common hobby paints and can be glued cleanly for tidy assemblies.

Working Tips for Clean Results

Adhesive: Tamiya Craft Bond gives a reliable join for foam-to-foam and foam-to-wood connections.
Customization: Use a sharp blade and templates to form tight-fitting parts for internal supports or light bulkheads.
Painting: Test paints on a scrap to check adhesion and finish before committing to the full model.

Are these sheets suitable for scratch building small gliders?

Yes. The thin boards are helpful for light structural parts, control surfaces mockups and internal supports where weight matters.

Will superglue work on this foam?

Some cyanoacrylates can react with foam; use recommended craft adhesives like Tamiya Craft Bond or test glue on a scrap first.

Any tips for bending or shaping the board?

Score on the non-show side and bend gently, or heat lightly for smoother curves while avoiding overworking the material.

Can I use it as a base for decals?

Yes. After sealing or priming the surface you can apply decals; ensure the paint is fully dry to prevent lifting.
