Consistent 5mm Pipe for Scale Work

The Tamiya 70220 plastic pipes are a useful addition to any modeller's kit bag. These 5mm tubes provide a reliable option for small build tasks and cosmetic detailing.

Uses in Scale Modelling and RC

Ideal for imitating small pipes, making neat cable runs or creating spacer elements, the tubes are versatile across bodywork and chassis projects.

Finishing and Maintenance Notes

Trim to length with care, clean rough edges, and choose an adhesive that suits the job. They accept primer and paint when prepped correctly, helping you blend additions into your model.

How do I secure these pipes to a chassis?

Surface prep and the right adhesive are key. Use plastic-friendly glue for cosmetic fixes or epoxy for stronger joints where load is expected.

Can they be used with metal parts?

Yes, they can interface with metal pieces when combined with suitable fasteners or adhesives, but allow for some movement to avoid stress cracking.

Are these pipes paint friendly?

After a light sand and primer, most hobby paints stick well. Test a small piece first to check finish and adhesion before applying to the model.

Do they work for wiring insulation or just cosmetic use?

They are great for routing and protecting wiring, but for electrical insulation you should still use appropriate sleeving where required by your setup.
