Get Flawless Surfaces with Tamiya 87144 Fine Lapping Film 3000

The Tamiya 87144 Fine Lapping Film 3000 helps modellers achieve a tidy, low-mark finish on scale models. The fine abrasive coating smooths plastic and light metal surfaces, and it is gentle enough for clear parts while producing an even, ready-to-polish surface.

Practical Uses for Model Builders

This lapping film is handy for removing fine scratches and evening out paint edges before final buffing. It is commonly used for wet sanding fiddly areas and gives good grip and control on small components and trims.

Pack Contents

Three sheets of fine lapping film, 3000 grit
Sheet dimensions: 93x228 mm
Colour: Violet

Can this be used on clear lexan parts?

Yes, when used gently it can level minor defects on clear parts before polishing. Start with light strokes and keep the surface wet to avoid heat buildup.

How long will each sheet last?

Lifespan depends on use and surface condition; for fine finishing on multiple small parts a single sheet can last several sessions if rinsed and stored correctly.

Should I use this before or after compounding?

Use the 3000 film first to remove fine marks, then follow with polishing compound for a glossy finish.

Any storage tips for longevity?

Rinse after use, air dry flat and keep sheets away from dust and heat to preserve the abrasive surface.
