Precision 5mm Clear Tubing for Modelling - Tamiya 70136

The Tamiya 70136 clear beams offer modellers a discreet way to add structure or guides into a build. At 5mm diameter they suit fine-scale supports and internal bracing where visibility needs to be minimal.

Common Modelling Applications

Use these beams for internal chassis bracing, cable runs, or lightweight struts in tight sections of a model. Their clear appearance blends with most paint schemes and helps preserve scaled aesthetics.

Modding Tips and Handling

They are simple to cut and file to shape, and bond well with standard plastic adhesives after light preparation. Ideal for hobbyists who need precise, low-profile components without heavy tooling.

Can these be painted to match a livery?

Yes, they can be painted but surface prep is important. Use paint made for plastics and try a sample to ensure colour and adhesion.

Are they suitable for steam or engine modelling?

They are suitable for light structural uses and routing, but avoid placing them where they will be exposed to heat or fuel without protection.

With normal indoor use they remain stable, though prolonged UV or harsh solvents can affect clarity. Inspect and replace if signs of stress appear.
