Tamiya 70128 clear plate - precision styrene for model detailing

The Tamiya 70128 transparent plastic plate provides a neat, clear base for model making. The sheet measures 36.4cm by 25.7cm and is 1.7mm thick, making it a sensible choice for glazing, small structural parts and detailed scratchbuilding tasks.

Where to use this styrene sheet

Use it for cockpit windows, lamp covers, small protective panels or custom trim parts. Its clarity makes it ideal for projects that need visible internals or tidy light fittings without adding heavy material.

Working methods for best results

  • Cutting: Score repeatedly with a fresh blade and snap or use a fine saw for controlled curves to prevent chipping.
  • Bonding: Styrene solvent cement fuses the plastic cleanly; clamp parts lightly until the join cures for the best finish.
  • Finishing: Begin with medium grit, work to fine grit, and use a plastic polish to restore clear shine after sanding.

FULL RANGE RC products, very good service and communication. Thank you, Ms Kyle provided product technical support. Delivery on time, well packed and with mail tracking service. Very satisfied. Highly recommendation supplier. I'll come back to RC
Yes, after a light scuff and suitable primer the surface accepts acrylic or enamel paints. Test on a scrap first to check adhesion and finish.
Styrene cement works best with styrene parts; for mixed plastics use a suitable plastic adhesive designed for both materials and expect to test for strength.
Apply solvent sparingly and allow ventilation; excess solvent can cause whitening. Use small amounts and hold pieces steady until set.
Sand progressively to a fine grit and finish with a plastic polishing compound to remove micro-scratches and restore transparency.
