About product

Hasegawa finishing file

A modeling file from the Japanese company Hasegawa intended for the finishing stages of work, that is for the moment when a part is essentially done and it is only a matter of smoothing the surface. Compared with coarse workshop files it has a finer cut, so it removes material more slowly but leaves a smoother surface and does not create deep grooves that would then have to be sanded out laboriously. It is neither a kit nor an accessory for a model but a tool for the modeling bench.

Use

  • leveling mold seams on plastic parts
  • cleaning up the remains of sprue gates after a part has been clipped off
  • smoothing filled seams between the halves of a fuselage or a body
  • refining the shape of a part after rough sanding
  • working resin and metal accessories that need a fine bite

Usage tips

File with short strokes in one direction; back and forth tears the material and damages the surface needlessly. Press minimally on thin-walled parts, as plastic bends easily and a hollow forms that shows only after painting. After filing, finish the surface with abrasive paper of increasing fineness and finally by polishing, as going straight from a file to paint usually shows. Clean a clogged cut with a stiff brush, so that pressed-in plastic does not make scratches. Keep the file dry so that it does not corrode.

Who the file is for

For modelers who want cleanly worked seams and smooth transitions, that is for builders of aircraft, military vehicles and cars, where every irregularity shows under a gloss finish. It is useful for working with resin accessories too.

Filing creates fine dust. Work in a well ventilated room, use respiratory protection with resin and metal, and do not blow the dust away.

FAQ

It does not, it complements it. With a file you level the shape, and with abrasive paper of increasing fineness you then finish the surface smooth.

For fine refining yes. With resin and metal, though, dust harmful to health is created, so use respiratory protection and good ventilation.

That is usually from excessive pressure on a thin-walled part. File with short strokes with minimal pressure and check the surface against the light.

Brush a clogged cut out with a stiff brush. Otherwise pressed-in remains of plastic make scratches in the surface.
