Precision Brass Tubing for Scale Model Work

The Trumpeter 09946 Brass Pipe Set contains four 20CM lengths of brass tubing, a practical option for modders who need reliable metal stock. Brass is valued for its machinability and clean look, making these tubes a smart pick for detailed modelling tasks.

Why Model Makers Choose Brass

Brass machines cleanly with files, small saws and drills, and holds shape when bent or formed. It offers a useful compromise between toughness and malleability for creating custom framework or replacing weak plastic parts.

Styling and Structural Applications

These brass pipes work well as visual upgrades as well as functional parts. Fit them as realistic exhausts, supports for roll cages, or bespoke trim that benefits from a metal finish without heavy weight penalties.

What tools do I need to shape these brass pipes?

A small hacksaw, needle files and a bench vise cover most shaping tasks. For bending, use a soft-jaw clamp or form around a mandrel to avoid kinks.

Are the pipes ready to paint or do I need to prepare them?

Clean the brass with a degreaser and lightly abrade with fine sandpaper or scotch pad before priming. Use a metal primer for best paint adhesion and longevity.

Can these tubes be used to strengthen suspension mounts?

Yes, the tubes can reinforce areas that need more rigidity, but ensure they are fitted securely and do not introduce binding points in moving parts.

Do these brass pipes corrode easily?

Brass resists rust but can tarnish over time. A clear coat or regular polishing keeps the finish bright and protects the metal from dulling.
