About product

Italeri, round brush no. 3/0

A round modeling brush from Italeri in the extremely fine size 3/0. It is a tool for painting — not a kit; there is no model in the package. The designation with a slash works the other way round from what you might expect: the higher the number before the zero, the thinner the brush. So triple zero is among the thinnest sizes commonly used in modeling — the head of bristles is barely thicker than a pencil lead and ends in a sharp point.

Use

  • The eyes, eyebrows and facial features of figures — the classic work people buy this size for.
  • The dials and levers of instrument panels, cocks, small linkages.
  • Small inscriptions, marks and drawing in by hand where a decal has failed.
  • Micro touch-ups: painting over a small scratch or a broken edge of a decal.

When to choose 3/0 and when the neighboring size

Triple zero holds very little paint. That is both its strength and the price it exacts: it allows a stroke as thin as a hair, but you have to dip it often and thin the paint well, otherwise it dries before you finish the stroke. As soon as it is not a hairline but a small solid object — a button, a buckle, a piece of equipment — the endless refilling of paint will hold you up and a size 0, one step larger, will do a better job. The shape of the brush, on the other hand, is deliberate: a round head tapers to a point and keeps that point, which is why it aims at detail; a flat brush with a straight edge is a tool for flat areas.

Care of the brush

  • Clean it immediately after finishing the work — on such a thin head a single drop of dried paint at the ferrule is enough to ruin the point. Acrylic with water or acrylic thinner, enamel with mineral spirits.
  • Do not store it point down, standing in thinner.
  • Do not press on the bristles and do not use them as a lever — a fine head splays out.
  • Let it dry lying flat or point up.

Who it is for

For figure painters and modelers who do detail on the edge of visibility and want the thinnest thing that can still be controlled at hand.

Paints and thinners are not included in the package. Thinners and mineral spirits are flammable, so work in a ventilated room.

FAQ

Smaller. With numbers that use a slash, the higher the number before the zero, the thinner the brush — so 3/0 is noticeably finer than 0. Choose 0 for a small solid object and triple zero for a hairline.

Such a thin head holds only very little paint. That is the price of a thin stroke. Thin the paint well and expect to dip more often — do not try to solve it by pressing on the bristles.

A round head tapers to a point and keeps that point, so it serves for detail. A flat brush has a straight edge and is intended for covering flat areas.

Immediately after use: acrylic with water or acrylic thinner, enamel with mineral spirits. Never leave it point down in thinner, do not press on the bristles and dry it flat or point up.
