The Tamiya 70263 8mm plastic beams are a handy component for anyone customising models or building from scratch. Their square tube form makes them suitable for internal frames, roll cages, and other structural uses in RC models.
Made from polystyrene, these beams are straightforward to shape and paint while remaining robust enough for hobby applications. Smaller square sections such as 3mm and 5mm slide into the 8mm tube, enabling secure stacked constructions. The square cross section reduces unwanted rotation of inserted pieces for accurate alignment.
Clamp the beams before cutting and use a fine saw or hobby knife for precise results. They bond well with Tamiya plastic cement and accept Tamiya acrylics for colour finishing. Combine them with other Tamiya beams to create larger, adjustable structures.
