Product overview

AK6546 packages three 350 mm tube lengths at a published 6 mm outside diameter. Its larger circular form is useful when fabricating exhausts, funnels, vents, drains or light structural runs where an open end forms part of the detail. A full piece can cover an extended section without a join, while shorter cuts provide matching components for repeated features. Measure the stock against the project, cut it to length and refine the exposed face with a file or sanding tool.

Material: polystyrene
Hollow round section, wall thickness 0.7 mm as published
Imperial figures as printed by AK: 13.78 in long, .236 in outside diameter

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.
