K&S 8104 Round Aluminum Tube: 3/16" OD x 0.014" Wall x 12" Long (1 Piece): Scale, Subject & Display Guide
Rather than repeating the catalog description for K&S 8104 Round Aluminum Tube: 3/16" OD x 0.014" Wall x 12" Long (1 Piece), this guide turns the modelbuildingmaterials listing into a decision record. It explains how the K&S Precision Metals item is identified, how the available evidence should be read, and where confirmation is still required.
Matching the exact listing
- Exact product: K&S 8104 Round Aluminum Tube: 3/16" OD x 0.014" Wall x 12" Long (1 Piece)
- Brand or vendor: K&S Precision Metals
- Product type: ModelBuildingMaterials
- SKU or catalog key: K+S8104
- Scale stated in the record: g Scale
- Variants reviewed: 1
- Product images indexed: 1
The recorded price at verification was $1.49 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.
A correct match requires more than recognizing the brand. The scale marker g Scale is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The SKU K+S8104 provides the most efficient cross-check when another listing uses slightly different punctuation or wording.
Evidence taken from the live record
The live record provides the following product-specific information: “K&S 8104 round aluminum tubing is supplied as one 12-inch-long piece. It has a 3/16-inch outside diameter and a 0.014-inch wall. Use this metal stock for model making, scratch building and other fabrication projects. Diameter is measured across the outside of the tube.” The wording is treated as a source excerpt, not as a substitute for independent fit, scale or condition checks.
Practical use and compatibility
Use a collector-style inspection on K&S 8104 Round Aluminum Tube: 3/16" OD x 0.014" Wall x 12" Long (1 Piece): confirm the casting silhouette, visible finish, graphic layout, wheel and tire combination, base details, interior color and package state shown. These details create the release identity. Price or brand recognition alone cannot establish that another car is equivalent.
If the item will be customized, photograph and record its starting condition first. If it will remain original, store it so metal edges, wheels and printed surfaces do not rub adjacent models. The decision depends on the exact item represented by K+S8104, not on a generic diecast workflow.
Where similar listings differ
Similar diecast products often differ in small, high-value details. Review the wheel spokes, tire profile, base color, glazing, interior, license or race markings and package code. The aim is not to assign a grade from a distance but to confirm that the delivered item matches the release purchased.
Display and handling should follow the format: loose models need nonabrasive separation, packages need edge and blister protection, and project cars need a documented baseline before disassembly.
The photographed item is part of the specification
1 product image were available to the catalog at verification. Use them as item-level evidence: zoom in on the SKU, graphics, edges, connectors, part arrangement or package callouts relevant to this modelbuildingmaterials. Do not substitute a generic manufacturer image when the exact listing supplies a more specific view.
Before committing the item to a project
- Save the listing URL under K+S8104.
- Compare the product image with the expected subject or component.
- Check whether optional tools, motors, paint, batteries or accessories are separate.
- Verify the intended storage, display or installation space.
- Record any unanswered question before checkout.

How to document it after purchase
The permanent record should answer three questions: what exact item was bought, what arrived, and how it was used or stored. The title and K+S8104 answer the first; arrival photographs answer the second; project or collection notes answer the third.
Keeping those layers separate improves future comparisons and avoids unsupported grading.
Gift considerations
For gifting, the product image can verify the visual subject while the SKU K+S8104 verifies the release. Both checks matter when the recipient collects small variations.
