Adaptable Square Tubing for Model Builders

The Tamiya 70262 5mm Plastic Beams suit model builders who need tidy structural elements for custom work. These square tubes give predictable joins and straightforward assembly.

Expanded Design Possibilities

The 5mm square section can be used with smaller 3mm sizes or larger 8mm pieces in layered constructions. You can also combine round, pipe, triangular and L-shaped inserts to vary the build approach.

How RC Enthusiasts Use Them

These beams are often used as joining sleeves, stabilisers and connection blocks to prevent twist and keep parts aligned. They are useful when modifying parts or creating bespoke supports and mounts.

Working and Finishing Methods

Score shallow lines with a modelling knife to bend or shape light sections, and cut thicker areas with the Handy Craft Saw II or a Thin Blade Craft Saw. Use Tamiya paints and plastic cement to decorate and secure assemblies.

They are compatible with common Tamiya tubing ranges and work well with 2mm, 3mm and other 5mm components in mixed assemblies.
No. For most shaping tasks score and bend with a craft knife; use saws for cutting out larger sections rather than relying on heat methods.
Prepare joint faces by cleaning and lightly sanding, then apply Tamiya plastic cement and clamp until set for tidy, strong connections.
