The Tamiya 87171 Polishing Sponge Sheet 3000 provides a 3000 grit abrasive surface suited to the final smoothing stages of model builds. It helps remove fine imperfections on plastic components and prepares surfaces for polish or clear coat.
With a 5mm sponge backing the sheet offers controlled flexibility, letting you work around domes, curves and recesses without losing contact. Cut it down with a sharp modeler's knife to make bespoke sanding tools for detailed tasks.
Primarily intended for plastic models, the Tamiya 87171 also performs on wood and softer metalwork. Employing it wet can help limit dust and lower friction during close finishing passes.
The item is supplied as a single 114x140mm sheet per pack. The reverse side is printed with the product name and the 3000 grit indicator so you can identify the correct sheet at a glance.
