Hi guys,

one question. After filling some gaps and afterwards dsanding it the surface of that area was damaged.

How can I get the surface smooth again?

What i would do:

First deepen the panel lines a bit to avoid them from disappearing later in the process.

Put some tape around the damaged area so that potential extra damage does not spread over a wider surface

buy a finger nail polishing stick in a beauty shop and work the damaged area with that

As Drabslab says; rework any panel lines in danger of disappearing, but use graded sandpaper (down to 12,000 grit) to sand and polish out the defects.

Fingernail polishing sticks come in varying grits, right down to polishing level, use progressively finer ones in opposite directions until you have a glossy surface again.

Whenever you sand, ensure your sandpaper is backed by something solid. Your fingertip will follow the contour of the plastic.

Try some household products instead of wasting money on ultra fine sand paper. Newsprint, tissue, and copy paper can smooth your styrene surface. Styrene is soft. Heck, I've even used model kit directions to smooth the plastic.
