FAQ

What is the Flat Brush No.01 best used for? Its 2.5mm flat profile is ideal for painting smaller flat areas, sharp edges, trim, cockpit interiors and other parts where greater control is required than with a wider flat brush.

Can I use this brush with acrylic, enamel and lacquer paints? Yes. The natural horse-hair bristles are suitable for all common Tamiya modelling paints. Clean the brush thoroughly with the appropriate cleaner after use.

Is this brush suitable for fine detail painting? It is well suited to controlled detail work and narrow surfaces, although a small pointed brush is generally a better choice for extremely fine details.

How do I make the brush last longer? Clean it immediately after use with the correct thinner or brush cleaner, reshape the bristles while damp and allow it to dry naturally before storing.

Can this brush be used for weathering? Yes. It is suitable for dry brushing, blending and applying weathering effects depending on the technique and paint being used.

Important Notes

• Clean the brush immediately after each use using the appropriate paint thinner or cleaner.
• Do not allow paint to dry in the bristles.
• Reshape the bristles after cleaning to maintain their original profile.
• Store the brush in a dry location with the bristles protected from damage.
• Use separate brushes where practical for different paint types to maximise brush life.
• Natural hair brushes require proper care to maintain performance and longevity.
