Needle Files

2003-8-25

Needle files are very common modelling tools.







Used for cleaning castings, mouldings & cut pieces, they are ideal for preparing model parts prior to undercoating and painting. Having trouble with flash on a model? Reach for one of these and it's disposed of in short order!


There are ~10 different profiles commonly available in 3 grades: 0, 1, 2. The most useful are round, flat and half round, although there's a profile for getting just about anywhere.
