Fine sanding. Gentle touch. Beautifully smooth results.

The AK Interactive AK9552 Flexible Sanding Sponges are designed for fine surface refinement and precision finishing of scale model components. Featuring a P800–1000-grit abrasive surface and a flexible sponge backing, they provide gentle, controlled sanding, making them particularly useful for smoothing aircraft fuselages, wings, curved components, and delicate assemblies.

Unlike rigid sanding sticks, these flexible pads adapt naturally to the contours of your model, helping preserve subtle curves and surface details while eliminating fine scratches and sanding marks. Their high-durability abrasive material ensures consistent performance, while the flexible backing makes them comfortable and easy to handle.

The sponges can also be cut to size using scissors or a hobby knife, allowing modelers to create customized sanding tools for narrow spaces, intricate details, and hard-to-reach areas.

Whether refining plastic components, smoothing resin parts, or preparing surfaces for primer and paint, these versatile sanding sponges offer an excellent combination of precision, flexibility, and control.

A practical addition to any modeler's workbench, because the smoother the surface, the better the paint gets to show off.

Start with AK9550 (P400) for initial refinement, progress to AK9551 (P500–600) to smooth the surface, and use AK9552 (P800–1000) to remove finer sanding marks. For an exceptionally smooth finish, continue with AK9553 (P1200–1500) and progressively finer grades. Apply light pressure around delicate raised or recessed details.
