Get a smooth finish with the Tamiya 87171 Polishing Sponge Sheet 3000

The Tamiya 87171 Polishing Sponge Sheet 3000 is a compact abrasive sheet offering a fine 3000 grit ideal for finishing work on models. It helps tidy up plastic surfaces and delivers a fine, even surface ready for paint or polish.

Flexible sponge layer for tight spots

The 5mm sponge layer adds flexibility so the sheet wraps around rounded panels and small contours. Cut pieces to fit intricate components using a sharp modeler's knife to reach tight zones without over-sanding.

Works beyond plastic

Although designed for plastics, the Tamiya 87171 also performs well on light wood and metal. Use it wet to lower heat and airborne dust while finishing delicate details.

Dimensions and labelling

Each pack contains one 114x140mm sheet. The back of the sheet is marked with the product name and grit size to make selection straightforward on a busy workbench.

Yes. The sponge backing helps the sheet follow gentle curves so you can sand canopy frames or rounded bodywork without flattening the shape.
Wet sanding is recommended for the 3000 grit stage to keep dust down and give a cleaner scratch pattern, which improves the result with subsequent polishing.
The 5mm sponge is resilient for light to moderate finishing tasks. For heavy material removal you may go through sheets faster, but for fine finishing it holds up well.
Store sheets flat in a dry envelope or folder to prevent edge curling and to keep the abrasive surface clean between uses.
