Sandpaper for kits, miniatures and scale modelling
Sandpaper for kits is a basic tool for removing mould lines, flash, glue residue, excess putty and small imperfections before priming or painting. In this category you'll find abrasive sponges, flexible sandpaper and contour sandpaper from brands like AMMO and Vallejo.
Which grit to choose
- Coarse or medium grit: useful for pronounced flash, cutting residue, fit adjustments and excess putty.
- Fine grit: suitable for smoothing the surface before priming or painting.
- Contour sandpaper: recommended for curved areas, small parts, tight spots and hard-to-reach details.
- Flexible or sponge sandpaper: very practical on fuselages, bodies, miniatures, rounded parts and irregular surfaces.
Recommended use
Always start with the least aggressive grit that solves the problem and move to finer grits to avoid deep marks. You can combine sandpaper with cutting tools, putty, primers and varnishes to get a clean surface ready for painting.
FAQ about modelling sandpaper
What sandpaper do I use to remove mould lines?
For soft mould lines, fine sandpaper or an abrasive sponge is usually enough. If the line is more pronounced, start with a medium grit and finish with a finer one before priming.
Can kit sandpaper be used wet?
It depends on the product. Many sandpapers and abrasive sponges can be used dry or slightly dampened to reduce dust and better control the finish.
