Brush Synthetic Flat - (1)

Italeri synthetic flat brush, size 1

A flat modeling brush with synthetic hair from Italeri. The hair is bound into a flat, straight-cut tip that applies paint in an even band and creates a sharp edge. Size 1 is small and suits narrow areas, edges and more precise straight strokes. The synthetic hair holds its shape, springs back, cleans easily and withstands the thinners of the common modeling paints.

Use

• Applying paint in even bands to smaller flat areas.
• Painting edges, frames and straight transitions.
• A dry brush for picking out edges and surface texture.
• Precise touch-ups of details with the straight edge of the tip.
• The sharp edge can also draw a thin line when you turn the brush on its side.

Care and tips

A flat brush keeps its value as long as the straight edge stays sharp, so do not let paint dry in the hair and do not dip the bundle up to the ferrule. For drybrushing, wipe the excess paint off on paper so that only a minimum is left on the edge. After work, clean it with thinner, rinse it and smooth the flat tip back into shape.

Who it is for

For modelers who need a small flat brush for edges, narrow areas and the drybrushing technique. It complements the round brushes in the basic kit and also suits painting details with straight lines.

After use, clean it with a suitable thinner according to the type of paint, wash it and dry it so that the flat tip keeps its shape.
