Shrink and Personalise RC Items with Tamiya Pla-plate

The Tamiya 70215 Heat-Shrinking Pla-plate suits modellers who enjoy crafting small personalised elements for their RC kits. Supplied as B6 sheets, the material makes it straightforward to create bespoke tags, emblems, and tiny accessories.

Material Behaviour and Work Process

The sheet will reduce to about 1/6 of its original dimensions when heated, so you can draw larger artwork that becomes finely detailed after shrinking. A toaster oven gives the most even heat, and the basic kit only needs permanent markers and scissors to get started. The plastic begins clear for tracing, and the white tint deepens during shrinkage to make markings more visible.

Box Contents and Craft Advice

Two white B6 sheets are included, enough for a number of small projects. Permanent markers are ideal for bold designs while coloured pencils are useful for softer shading. The pack contains instructions in both Japanese and English to help you reproduce consistent results.

A conventional oven may work but tends to give less controlled heat. A toaster oven is preferred for even, repeatable shrinking. Always watch the piece and run a test first.
Light sanding of edges and a thin clear coat can protect the surface and make small parts tougher for mounting on models.
Yes, because the material shrinks significantly it is well suited to making small-scale badges and labels with fine detail, provided you allow for the shrink ratio when designing.
