Whether you are scratch-building a diorama structure, fabricating push-rod guides for an RC vehicle, or adding fine metalwork to a model kit, having reliable micro brass tube on hand makes the difference between a clean build and a compromised one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is a hollow brass tube with a 3mm outer diameter (≈0.118\") and a length of 200mm (≈7.9\"). Available in quantities of 1, 5, or 10 pieces per order, so you can stock up for ongoing projects or grab a single piece for a quick repair. The brass alloy construction provides a smooth, consistent bore and a uniform wall thickness throughout the length of each tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include structural framing in 1:35 and 1:48 scale military dioramas, antenna and push-rod sleeves in 1\/10 RC cars and aircraft, and decorative metalwork in architectural models and steampunk craft projects — all applications where a precise 3mm OD hollow brass pipe is the go-to material choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003eℹ️\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outer diameter is 3mm.
