Modellers United Micromesh 5x Sheets: Precision Finishing for the Discerning Modeler

When it comes to scale modeling, perfection is in the details—and the finish. Whether you're working on a 1:35 tank, a 1:72 aircraft, or a vintage car kit, achieving that ultra-smooth surface is often what separates a good model from a show-stopper. That’s where the Modellers United Micromesh 5x Sheets come into their own.

What Is Micromesh?

Micromesh is a high-quality abrasive material designed for ultra-fine finishing. Unlike traditional sandpaper, Micromesh sheets use a cushioned abrasive surface that adapts to the contours of your model, reducing the risk of over-sanding edges or flattening details. It’s the go-to choice for professional modelers and restoration specialists alike.

Product Overview

The Modellers United Micromesh 5x Sheets set includes five precision-grade sheets in a range of grits from 3600 up to 12000 grit . This allows for a full progression from initial surface smoothing to a near-gloss polish—perfect for prepping plastic, resin, or even metal surfaces before painting, or for post-paint polishing.

Key Features:

  • Flexible & Durable – Easily conforms to curved surfaces and tight spots without cracking or tearing.

  • Washable & Reusable – These sheets can be rinsed clean and reused multiple times, offering excellent value.

  • Versatile Use – Ideal for smoothing seams, polishing clear parts (like canopies or headlights), or even refining decal edges.

  • Professional Results – Leaves a satin to mirror-like finish, depending on grit progression and technique.

Why Choose Modellers United?

Modellers United has become a trusted name in the scale modeling community for offering high-quality tools and materials designed specifically with hobbyists in mind. Their Micromesh sheets are no exception—providing consistency, durability, and precision for modelers who demand the best.

Tips for Use:

  • Start with the lowest grit needed (e.g., 3600 –4000) and work your way up in stages to 12000 for the smoothest finish.

  • Use wet or dry—Micromesh is designed to perform well either way, though wet-sanding helps reduce clogging and extends the life of the sheet.

  • Combine with polishing compounds for crystal-clear results on transparent parts.
