Light-reactive Pla plate for custom RC highlights

The Tamiya 70161 Heat Shrinking Pla Plate provides a straightforward way to add luminous detailing to model cars and trucks. It shrinks with heat to fit contours and holds a glow after exposure to light sources.

Size and luminous behaviour

This sheet is 0.2mm thick and gives a reliable glow when charged under a lamp or sun. The shrinking effect helps the sheet sit flush against complex surfaces for neat accents.

Finishing and compatibility notes

Personalise with oil-based markers or coloured pencils before shrinking, and bond with model-safe adhesives. Test on spare components to confirm the finish before final application.

The material is fine for occasional outdoor runs but prolonged UV and weather exposure may reduce longevity; store parts out of direct sunlight when not in use.
No specialised gear is required - a hobby heat gun or hair dryer on low heat works. Keep the heat moving to avoid overheating a single spot.
Wipe with isopropyl alcohol or mild detergent and dry thoroughly to ensure good adhesion and a smooth finish.
