Tamiya have prepared another type of cement dedicated to plastic parts, this time made of ABS plastic. This type of material was for example used by Finemolds to produce seatbelts sets of „Nano aviation" series.

Hi,

I feel a litlle beat silly, but what is an ABS plastic...?

An How many types of plastics have we got on the plastic-models industry...?

Thanks

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. A tough plastic used for such things as camera bodies, Lego Bricks etc. Tamiya might be using it for the bodies of radio-controlled racing cars and similar things. It requires special cement and paint, usually called acryl.

It may be needfull also for the first Trumpeter kits, which were made in a sort of ABS plastic
