Get a smooth base with Tamiya 87231 Sanding Cloth #600

Scale modellers looking for a reliable 600 grit option will find the Tamiya 87231 cloth ideal for refining painted surfaces and smoothing contours on plastic bodies.

Works well on plastic, light alloy and wood

The cloth is primarily for plastic modelwork but is also suitable for light aluminium parts and timber details, giving consistent abrasive action across common modelling materials.

Measurements and grit choices

Each piece measures 170 x 130 mm. The product line covers five grit stages from #600 to #3000 with colour coding for quick identification. The sky blue #600 is for early-stage smoothing tasks.

Minimises fold lines for even sanding

Its flexible construction helps avoid the heavy fold marks that can occur with rigid paper, producing a more uniform finish ahead of priming and painting.

Flexible for wet or dry techniques

Designed for both wet and dry use, the cloth adapts to different finishing methods to suit the level of control you need during model preparation.

Yes, it is beginner friendly. Start with light passes and build pressure gradually. The #600 grit is useful for initial flattening before finer sanding.
A small block helps keep even pressure on flat areas. For tight radiuses you can wrap the cloth around a finger or shaped mandrel for better control.
Progress through finer grits in the Tamiya range, cleaning the part between stages. Finish with the highest grit suitable for polishing and then use polish if needed.
