Sturdy Modelling Sheet for Precision Parts

This 10mm B4 styrene board from Tamiya gives modellers a stable base for crafting precision components and bespoke RC upgrades. The uniform density supports accurate cutting and fitting during assembly.

Cutting Methods for Fine Detail

Use a jigsaw for larger panel cuts and a sharp hobby knife for trimming and small adjustments. For tiny holes and alignment points, a pin vice provides controlled drilling with minimal damage.

Painting Advice for Smooth Results

Compatible with Tamiya acrylics and enamel paints, the board benefits from light sanding and a clean, dust-free surface before painting. Test finishes on a scrap piece to dial in your chosen technique.

Will this board add useful strength to chassis parts?

It can add rigidity for low-load structural pieces and mounting panels, but for high stress applications consider reinforcing with metal or thicker substrates where required.

Are there special tips for bending or shaping?

Beyond cutting, careful heat and gradual bending can shape small sections, but always trial on a scrap piece and avoid overheating to prevent distortion or damage.

What preparation gives the best paint adhesion?

Degrease, lightly sand with fine abrasive, and apply a suitable primer before painting. Allow full cure time between coats and handle edges gently to avoid chipping the finish.
