Refine Model Surfaces with Tamiya 87235 Sanding Cloth #3000

The Tamiya 87235 Sanding Cloth #3000 is designed for final-stage surface work on scale models. It conforms to contours and helps remove fine imperfections and dust nibs from paint and primer. This very fine abrasive enables careful smoothing before polishing or applying a final clear coat.

Multi-Material Compatibility

Suitable for use on plastic model bodies, light metal fittings and wooden elements, the cloth offers a gentle abrasive action for a variety of modelling materials without aggressive cutting.

Engineered for Wet and Dry Finishing

Effective in both wet and dry sanding techniques, the cloth helps manage sanding residues and heat during wet use. Its construction reduces the formation of deep fold marks so you get a more consistent finish.

Progressive Grit Options Available

Tamiya supplies a range of grits to complement the #3000 option, enabling a stepwise approach to finishing. The grit range runs from #600 to #2000 and uses colour coding to make transitions between stages straightforward.

When used with light pressure the #3000 is intended for surface refinement rather than bulk removal, but always test on a spare piece to confirm results on your specific primer.
After the #3000 cloth, use a polishing compound or fine buffing to achieve gloss, or apply a clear coat if you need additional protection before polishing.
Rinse the cloth when wet sanding and replace it if heavily clogged. For dry work, brush away loose debris frequently to keep the abrasive cutting clean.
Stick to water for wet sanding unless the paint manufacturer specifies otherwise. Solvents can affect certain paints and the cloth backing, so check compatibility first.
Yes. The colour coded grits simplify selecting the correct progression from coarser to finer abrasive, helping you follow a consistent finishing sequence.
