## Description

Tamiya Set of 3 Basic Metal Files with Black Handles (5mm / 4.5mm / 2.5mm) : desertcart.co.uk: Outlet

Review: Excellent - Bought these Tamiya set of files to use as was building a model and yes would definitely recommend them.
Review: You can't go wrong with this versatile set of modelling files - Great little set of files for removing mould lines and cleaning up leftover plastic cement from between connecting pieces. This does the more heavy duty plastic removal before moving on to high grit sanding sticks that can smooth the plastic out and make it look as if there was never a seam to begin with.

## Features

- Includes 3 types of files: round (2.5mm), semi-circular (4.5mm), and flat (5mm).
- This handy file set contains 3 double-cut files with black rubber grips which provide a smooth finish desired on plastic scale models, Mini 4WD models and even metal surfaces.
- The files can be stored in the accompanying vinyl case to keep them safe from damage.
- Ideal for modellers to use when assembling and finishing plastic model kits, as well as other uses.
- Overall item length is 140 mm with a handle diameter of 2.5 mm

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what grit are these files?**
A: Files are generally measured in "cuts per cm" or by count of the teeth. These would be considered "fine" or "smooth" finishing files in the range of 46/56 cuts per cm. The flat file is slightly more aggressive than the round and teardrop files. Like all files, I would suggest a nylon toothbrush or a brass brush to clean the teeth and help the files do their job better.

**Q: Are these good for creating weathering and notches into gunpla models? looking to create “strikes” into the armor & using tamiya wash and powders. tyt**
A: I'm sure you can use them for that. But start slow, they eat plastic really fast, more than you would imagine. Some light scratches of the files around the edges would suffice.
I have mainly used them to remove big nub marks in parts that are not going to be visible or glued together, because they leave really visible marks, but that's what you are going for.

**Q: I do scroll sawing and once in a while i don't get a inside scroll perfect, would they work on wood to file down rough spots?**
A: Yes

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: Not sure, somewhere overseas.  Definitely not USA.  Shipping was free but took about a month to arrive.  Ships from Japan.  OK for small hobby projects.  Not for heavy duty use.
