Tamiya 70261 3mm Square Tube Beams Pack of 5  [70261]

Compact 3mm Square Tubes for Custom Builds

Model makers looking for tidy structural parts will find the Tamiya 70261 3mm Plastic Beams a handy addition. These square tubes are straightforward to incorporate when modifying or repairing RC kits.

Design and Material Notes

The Tamiya 70261 pieces are produced in resilient polystyrene that holds shape for fine detailing and light load bearing. Because they are square, they reduce twist in assembled frameworks and pair neatly with Tamiya round, pipe, triangle and L shaped beams for expanded layouts.

Practical Uses in the Workshop

These beams work well as internal connectors, frame rails or short braces to stiffen assemblies. Cut slowly with a modelling saw or sharp blade for accurate edges, and sand contact faces before gluing to improve the bond.

Paint and Bonding Tips

Apply hobby paints once the surface is prepared; Tamiya paints and common hobby primers adhere well. For long lasting joints use plastic cement, or a thin CA for fast tack bonds when needed.
