Smooth Body Panels with the Tamiya 87233 Cloth

The Tamiya 87233 Sanding Cloth #1500 is designed to help model makers refine body panels and detailed surfaces. Its flexible backing conforms to compound curves, helping to achieve an even, scratch-minimised finish on plastic shells.

Suitable for Plastic, Wood and Light Metal

Beyond model plastics, this cloth is useful for light metal and timber tasks in the workshop. It holds up to both dry and wet sanding techniques and reduces the risk of edge creases that spoil a paint-ready surface.

Understanding Grit Ranges and Colour Keys

The grit number indicates abrasive strength; Tamiya supply grits from 600 (sky blue) through to 3000 (gray). The pink #1500 sits in the middle, offering enough cut for smoothing while preparing the surface for polishing.

It will remove light primer layers if used firmly. For painted surfaces start gently and move to finer grits to avoid damaging the underlying plastic.
Yes, once the surface is even you can progress to higher grits such as 2000 or 3000 to refine the shine before polishing.
When wet sanding rinse frequently under running water. For dry use tap off dust or blow with compressed air to prolong life.
