Tamiya 87150 Sponge Shet 1500

Tamiya 87150 Sponge Shet 1500 is a high-quality sanding sheet on a soft sponge, dedicated to modelers seeking precise and delicate tools for working on plastic, resin, and metal model surfaces. This product comes from the renowned company Tamiya, a world leader in the modeling industry, famous for innovative solutions and the highest quality standards. The spongy sanding material with a 1500 grit allows for very accurate and controlled sanding—both on flat and curved parts of a model.

Material and Applications:
The product is made from a flexible sponge coated with a fine-grain abrasive layer. This design allows for subtle, corrective matting of plastic model parts (e.g. in scales 1/24, 1/35, 1/72) as well as preparing resin figures or 3D-printed elements before painting—without the risk of over-sanding details. The sponge backing enables precise adaptation to uneven shapes and gaps, making this sheet an ideal choice for working on military vehicles, aircraft, ships, as well as railway modeling or dioramas.
