Polystyrenové desky 0.3 mm

Polystyrene sheets 0.3 mm thick

Three tenths of a millimeter is the thickness that stands for sheet metal on a model. The material is so thin that it can be cut with scissors, bent over an edge and shaped into a curve, and once glued down it leaves no visible step. That is exactly why it suits the things where a thicker sheet would look like planking: sheet metal patches and armor repairs, covers and transition surfaces, wall cladding, vehicle bodies and the floors of interiors. It is also a material from which templates are easily made, because it can be adjusted with a knife at any time.

Use

• Guide a straight cut along a ruler, but with less pressure than on thicker sheets, as the material creases easily.
• Make the bend over the edge of a ruler, cold and smoothly, not in your fingers.
• Glue with cement for plastics and apply it sparingly, as thin material soaks it up and ripples.
• Press a glued patch down over its whole area, or a bubble will stay in the middle.
• Suggest rivets with a blunt tip from the back; on thin material they stand out.

Who it is for

The material is for modelers who build conversions, repair and complete kits or work on dioramas. It will be appreciated above all by those who imitate repairs and damage on military vehicles, because it is with them that the thickness of the sheet decides the credibility.

Do not leave offcuts lying about and store the material out of the reach of children. When sanding, work in a ventilated room and do not inhale the dust.
