Precision Foam Sheet for Scale Models

The Tamiya 70138 Foam Board offers a precise 3mm sheet that is useful for scale modelling and RC detailing. Its low profile and even thickness make layout work and trimming straightforward.

Useful Build Techniques

Create templates, internal bracing or lightweight cosmetic panels with the foam board. Tamiya 70138 responds well to careful trimming and light sanding to refine edges and fitment.

Maintenance and Finishing Advice

Use the board for spot repairs, mock-ups and minor upgrades. When finishing, seal the surface before painting and use compatible adhesives to maintain bond strength.

Can I use normal model paints on this foam?

Yes, but apply a primer or sealer first and use water-based acrylics for best results. Avoid heavy solvent paints that can damage the foam core.

What is the best method to join two pieces?

Use PVA or contact adhesive for basic joins and add internal reinforcement strips for strength if the joint will bear load.

Is the board suitable for use inside the chassis?

It is suitable for non-structural internal fittings and padding. For structural mounts or high stress points, choose a more rigid material or reinforce the foam.
