Brush Synthetic Flat - (2)

Italeri synthetic flat brush, size 2

A flat modeling brush with synthetic hair from Italeri with a straight-cut tip. Compared with the smallest size 1, size 2 offers a wider stroke, so it covers an area faster while keeping a sharp edge for precise work along borders. The synthetic hair is durable, springy, holds its shape and cleans easily of both acrylic and enamel paints.

Use

• Even application of paint on medium flat areas.
• Painting edges and straight transitions with a wider stroke.
• Drybrushing on larger surfaces and texture.
• Base coats on smaller parts where a round brush leaves marks.
• Drawing out the straight edges of armored vehicles and frames.

Care and tips

To keep the brush usable for sharp edges, do not let paint dry in the hair and avoid dipping it right up to the ferrule. Apply several thin coats rather than one heavy one - a flat brush then leaves a more even surface with no streaks. After work clean it with the thinner matching the type of paint, rinse it and smooth the edge back into shape.

Who it is for

For modelers who want a flat brush with a slightly larger stroke than size 1 - for faster coverage of areas while keeping a sharp edge. It serves well on armored vehicles, buildings and larger flat parts.

After use clean it with the thinner matching the type of paint, wash it and dry it with the flat tip in shape.
