For hobbyists who want tidy paint prep, the Tamiya 87231 sanding cloth provides a practical way to smooth curved and flat areas on RC model bodies and scale parts.
While aimed at plastic bodywork, this cloth also works on light alloy and wooden components for fine finishing tasks. Its flexibility helps when tackling compound curves.
Each sheet is 170 x 130 mm and the range covers five grit levels from #600 to #3000, colour coded for easy selection. The #600 sky blue sheet is ideal for first-pass smoothing.
The cloth construction helps avoid prominent fold lines that can leave marks on paint, giving a smoother base for further sanding and painting.
Choose dry sanding for rapid stock removal or wet sanding for a cleaner finish; the sanding cloth performs well both ways for flexible workshop use.
