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.
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.
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.
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.
