Model builders aiming for a clean base coat will appreciate the Tamiya 87231 sanding cloth. It conforms well to curves and is intended for refining painted plastic model car bodies and similar parts.
This cloth is primarily suited to plastic but also handles light metals and wood for small corrections. It offers enough flexibility to reach tight contours as well as broader panels.
The cloth measures 170 x 130 mm and is supplied in five grit grades from #600 to #3000, each marked by a different colour. The #600 sky blue pad is best used for the first stage of smoothing.
Compared with conventional sandpaper, this sanding cloth reduces fold lines that can cause deep scratches, helping you get an even finish before finer sanding or priming.
Compatible with wet or dry techniques, the cloth adapts to different workflows and environmental conditions, making it a reliable choice for routine model prep.
