Soft Clear Beams for Modellers

Serious modellers looking for a flexible construction material can rely on the Tamiya 70158 2mm Clear Soft Plastic Beams. The material is a resin mix enhanced with synthetic rubber to increase elasticity. This enables the beams to bend to about 180 degrees without fracture, making them well suited to creative model work.

Custom Parts and Reinforcement

These beams are useful when crafting custom components or adding reinforcement to fragile sections. Because they retain shape once formed, you can produce bespoke supports or trim that match a specific layout and secure them using typical adhesives or small fixings.

Good Choice for Personalised Builds

The fine 2mm thickness makes these beams excellent for discreet support and tight-fit applications. Their toughness under load means they perform well in both simple repairs and intricate personalised projects.

Score with a sharp hobby knife or use fine snips for rough cuts, then smooth edges with fine sandpaper. Work slowly to avoid cracking the material.
Some plastic adhesives work well, but bonds vary by formulation. Cyanoacrylate and plastic-specific epoxies are commonly effective; conduct a small test before committing to a final joint.
They are designed for high flexibility, but repeated extreme flexing can eventually cause fatigue. Use them within their bend limits for long service life.
Typical uses include custom braces, clear support strips, internal mounting tabs and delicate detail work where small, flexible parts are needed.
