View · Overview

Product overview

AK6517 is solid, opaque white styrene strip with a 4 mm face and 0.75 mm thickness. Its rectangular section suits repeated narrow surfaces such as walkway boards, load-bed planks, louvre blades and broad trim, while the 350 mm length can be cut down for individual model components. As polystyrene stock, it can be worked with the same cutting, sanding, solvent-cement, priming and painting methods used for conventional plastic kit parts.

  • Ten separate strips are supplied, each 350 mm long.
  • The spec card gives the section as 0.030 × 0.156 inches and the full length as 13.78 inches.
  • The material is styrene, formed as an opaque white solid rectangular profile.

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.
