View · Overview

Product overview

AK6572 combines three 245 × 195 mm styrene sheets in one set: one at 0.3 mm, one at 0.5 mm and one at 0.7 mm. Keeping the face size constant while changing the gauge lets a modeller choose different depths for skins, panelling, decking, partitions and layered detail within the same project. A paper template can be transferred to whichever sheet suits the part, helping related components retain the same outline even when their thickness changes.

  • All three sheets are described as plain, opaque and white
  • AK’s imperial gauges are .012, .020 and .026 in; each face measures 9.64 × 7.68 in
  • Every piece is solid flat polystyrene sheet
  • The set arrives in a sealed clear hanging sleeve

Notes · Q & A

What do the dimensions mean?

The first figures describe the cross-section, followed by the stock length or sheet format. Strip is listed as thickness × width × length, round stock uses outside diameter × length, and sheet uses thickness × 245 × 195 mm. The 0.7 mm wall applies only to products explicitly described as hollow tube.

How should I cut modelling styrene?

Score thin sheet and flat strip against a metal straightedge, then snap it along the cut. For thicker sheet and larger profiles, use repeated knife passes or a fine razor saw rather than forcing one deep cut. Clean the edge afterwards with a fine file or abrasive.

What glue should I use for styrene stock?

Ordinary plastic or solvent cement is the usual choice because it softens the mating surfaces and welds the polystyrene together. Test-fit the pieces first and apply the cement sparingly, especially around fine details or exposed surfaces.

How do I choose a thickness or profile?

Choose according to the shape you need and how you intend to cut or form it. Thin sheet and strip are easier to score, snap and curve by hand, while thicker sections usually need repeated knife passes or a fine saw. Rod, tube, angle, channel and half-round profiles provide ready-made cross-sections for particular details.

Does AK styrene need special preparation before painting?

No special paint system is required; treat it like an ordinary polystyrene kit part. Remove cutting and sanding dust, apply primer where appropriate, and use your usual modelling paints.
