One Pair of Scissors. Plenty of Materials. No Cutting Corners.

The Tamiya 74124 Craft Scissors are a versatile, heavy-duty cutting tool designed for modelers who work with more than just paper and thin plastic. From styrene sheets and polycarbonate to aluminum, brass, rubber, and leather, these scissors tackle an impressive variety of materials with precision and confidence.

Their secret lies in the specially treated stainless steel blades, engineered to maintain a sharp cutting edge even when working with materials that would quickly overwhelm ordinary scissors. The generous navy-blue handles provide a secure, comfortable grip, while the robust pivot construction helps deliver the cutting force needed for tougher modeling jobs.

For scale modelers, they're particularly useful when scratch-building structures, cutting plastic sheet for custom components, trimming thin metal panels, or preparing materials for dioramas. Whether you're fabricating an aircraft interior, building a custom display base, or experimenting with different materials, these scissors offer the versatility to get creative without constantly changing tools.

At 170 mm long, with 40 mm cutting blades, they strike a practical balance between cutting power and control.

Because creativity shouldn't stop at the first material your scissors can't handle.

Key Features

• Versatile cutting tool for plastic, soft metals, rubber, leather, paper, and cardboard.

• Specially treated stainless steel blades for sharpness and durability.

• Cuts thin aluminum, brass, and copper sheets for scratch-building and detailing.

• Ideal for Tamiya Pla-Plate and polycarbonate modeling materials.

• Large ergonomic handles for comfortable, controlled cutting.

• Robust pivot construction for dependable cutting performance.

When scratch-building with styrene sheet or thin metal, cut slightly outside your intended outline and finish the edges with a sanding stick or fine file. This provides greater control over the final dimensions and helps achieve clean, accurate fits.

Please Note: These scissors are designed for suitable thin plastics and soft metals, not hardened steel or heavy-duty metal cutting. Observe the recommended material thicknesses to protect the cutting edges and maintain optimal performance.
