Clear Structural Tubing for Model Makers

The Tamiya 70137 Clear Plastic Beams provide transparent 8mm tubing suited to reinforcing and detailing scale models. Their clear profile helps maintain the visual lines of your build while adding practical support.

Typical Modelling Uses

Use the beams for framing lightweight sections, strengthening mounts or creating hidden support rails on cars and aircraft. The material is straightforward to cut, glue and finish for neat installations.

Tuning Stiffness and Aesthetics

The Tamiya 70137 pieces let you experiment with placement and thickness to balance rigidity and weight. They are compatible with many hobby fittings to speed up custom assembly.

They are fine for light structural duties and cosmetic supports, though heavy loads need metal parts or thicker tubing.
Cyanoacrylate or a plastic-compatible epoxy are good choices; prep the surface for best adhesion.
Yes, the clear finish makes them ideal for hidden supports and subtle detailing that does not distract from paint or decals.
