Sturdy Tamiya 70202 U-Channel Beams for Modellers

The Tamiya 70202 plastic beams are crafted to add structural support where thin kit parts need backing. Their U-profile makes them handy for internal bracing and narrow framework in scale scenes.

Core Features and Uses

Dimensions: Width: 3mm, Length: 400mm, Thickness: 1mm
Material Compatibility: Compatible with standard plastic cements and paints
Design: U-shaped cross-section for enhanced structural integrity

These beams are straightforward to work with for both beginners and experienced builders. Use them to reinforce chassis sections, create hidden supports, or form lightweight skeletal frames for larger diorama elements.

How do these compare to solid strips?

U-shaped beams offer good bending resistance with less plastic than a solid strip, making them lighter while still providing effective reinforcement for thin panels.

Can I glue these to resin parts?

Yes, but test a small area first. Surface prep like light sanding improves adhesion, and a suitable adhesive such as cyanoacrylate or plastic-safe epoxy is recommended.

What is the best way to paint narrow channels?

Prime first, then use thin coats from an airbrush or light brushwork to avoid pooling inside the channel; a touch of weathering can emphasise the profile if desired.
