Albion Alloys Model Tubing

Browse Albion Alloys tubing for piping details, sleeves, supports and custom model components. Round and square profiles offer different ways to represent a hollow structure or build a fitted assembly.

Choose a Hollow Profile for Your Project

Check what each dimension describes. Outside size, wall thickness and inside opening are not interchangeable. If the product listing does not state the measurement you need, verify it before committing to a close-fitting design. Choose the material and profile together with the method you intend to use for joining.

Work from the Dimensions of Your Model

Choose stock around a measured requirement rather than the full-size dimensions of the prototype alone. Think about how the material will look at the model’s scale, including the apparent thickness of exposed edges and the space needed for joints. Make a simple drawing or test pattern where the geometry is complicated.

Prepare the Fabrication Sequence

Plan cutting, cleanup, bending and joining before making the first part. The correct approach depends on the metal, its profile and its size. Check tool capacity and material compatibility, support small stock while working and test-fit components before fixing the assembly. Keep an allowance for cleanup where the design needs a finished edge.

Check the Product Before Ordering

Use each listing to confirm material, dimensions, length and pack quantity. Sizes that look close in a photograph may behave differently in a fitted assembly. If a required measurement is not stated, verify it before choosing the stock, particularly for telescoping or closely spaced parts.
