Lightweight Sheets for RC Crafting

The Tamiya 70197 Foam Board is a practical material for modellers who need tidy, lightweight panels. With a 2mm thickness and a flat, smooth surface it is straightforward to cut, glue and paint. Use the boards when crafting lightweight plane skins or to create buoyant sections on water-based models.

Practical Applications for Model Builders

Its low weight makes Tamiya 70197 excellent for model aircraft where reducing mass is key to performance. The material is easy to shape so you can prototype custom fins, fairings and internal trim. It is also handy for building up flotation or adding balance to boats and floatplanes without adding excess weight.

Assembly Tips and Sheet Dimensions

For assembly, Tamiya Craft Bond provides a clean, strong adhesion that keeps joins neat while retaining the foam's light feel. Each sheet measures 257x364mm, enough to tackle multiple small projects or to create layered panels for extra stiffness.

A sharp hobby knife or thin-blade saw produces clean edges; score and snap for straight cuts or use a hobby cutting mat to protect surfaces.
Apply a lightweight sealer or clear coat compatible with foam to protect against moisture and UV if the model will be exposed to weather.
Yes, laminating two sheets with adhesive or adding a thin backing increases stiffness for wings or rigid panels without much extra weight.
