Paint brushes
Posted by Leopard1 on Saturday, October 19, 2019 1:10 AM

in the book "the basics of scale modeling" (2005), the author recommend getting 5 brushes. (p.37)

model master no. 0 synthetic

model master 1/2 " flat black sable

Floquil no. 3 round pure sable

Floquil 1/4" flat camel hair and flat silver fox synthetic

 

I am wondering if these brushes are still available somewhere or if there are better suggestions/options from you guys.

 

Thank you!

There has been a number of discussions about paint brushes in the Airbrushing and Painting forum, down in the Tools, Techniques and Reference section.  You may want to check out that forum.

I don't think the brand is important.  I find I need a hair 0.  I find real hair brushes work for lacquer, enamel and acrylic, so see no need for synthetic brushes.  Also I find a 1/4 inch brush handier than a 1/2 inch brush.  I have no idea what a silver fox synthetic brush- seems like an oxymoron.

Floquil is a discontinued brand. It’s been gone for several years now. But you can still find some of their products on Amazon.
