Controlled Finishing for Model Surfaces

The Tamiya 87009 Finishing Abrasives Set is aimed at modellers who want predictable results when preparing parts for paint and trim. The selection of three grits covers rough correction through to final smoothing.

Three Grits for Stepwise Finishing

This kit contains five sandpaper sheets arranged for gradual refinement:

  • Grit 180: Two sheets suited to initial flattening and removing larger imperfections.
  • Grit 240: One sheet useful for blending and refining edges.
  • Grit 320: Two sheets for final surface finishing and light polishing before priming.

Why Wet Sanding Improves the Finish

Using water with these abrasive sheets reduces paper clogging and dust, extending their usable life and helping you create a more even finish on plastics and painted areas.

If used carefully and with the correct grit progression they should not. Use the finer 320 sheets near delicate panel lines and raised details.
Yes, mounting a sheet on a flat block helps keep edges straight and prevents accidental dips when flattening surfaces.
After 320, consider a light polish or a very fine polishing cloth before priming to remove any remaining micro-scratches.
