Product Summary for Tamiya 70160 Pla-Plate

The Tamiya 70160 Heat Shrink Pla-Plate in white provides a slender, shrinkable sheet for modellers focused on fine detailing. With dimensions of 183mm x 258mm and a thickness of 0.2mm, it works well for neat trims and delicate parts.

Surface Treatment and Customising

The white surface takes oil-based markers and coloured pencils cleanly, enabling crisp panel lines and subtle shading. It is convenient for mock-ups and cosmetic touches before final fitting or painting.

Functional Uses in Model Builds

Thanks to its heat-shrink capacity, the Tamiya 70160 sheet can contour to curved areas and create lightweight panels or overlays. Its slim form keeps added weight to a minimum while supporting cosmetic and minor protective uses.

Light priming after a scuff with fine sandpaper improves paint adhesion, especially with acrylic or enamel hobby paints.
Seal painted or decorated areas with a suitable clearcoat and edge-seal to reduce moisture ingress and keep the finish durable outdoors.
Yes, their thinness and stability make them useful as templates or patterns when tracing shapes onto thicker materials or when planning multi-layer assemblies.
