Microbrush Superfine / White – Cena za 1 ks !

Albion Alloys Microbrush Superfine / White - micro applicator, sold individually

A Microbrush is a disposable micro applicator with a small fibrous head on a flexible stick; it is not a brush with hair. The fibers do not soak the medium up into themselves but hold it on the surface, so a truly tiny amount can be dosed, the applicator does not drip and it does not shed. Superfine (white) is the finest size of the three: Regular (green), Fine (yellow), Superfine (white). It picks up the least material, but it lets you work at a scale where even a thin brush makes a blot. The manufacturer is the British company Albion Alloys. It is sold individually and the unit of sale is 1 piece.

Use

• The finest detail: the eyes of figures, small instruments, handles, clasps, buckles and patches.
• Thin lines of wash or oil where you do not want the medium to run into the surroundings; ideal for subtle shading of small parts.
• A micro dose of glue for photo-etched parts, glazing and tiny pieces; the drop is so small that it will not overflow onto a visible surface.
• Micro touch-ups of paint after demasking and repairs to the edges of decals.
• Precise removal of excess from an edge or a small facet without touching the surroundings.

When to choose Superfine and when the neighboring size

Reach for Superfine when the main criterion is precision, not quantity. Because it picks up the least medium, on larger areas you will often be topping up; for those, Fine (yellow) is better for ordinary detail, or Regular (green) when you need to transfer a lot of material at once. On figures in small scales and on fine touch-ups, though, the white Superfine is the only sensible choice of the three.

Who it is for

For figure painters, builders of aircraft and car models with a high density of small detail, and for anyone who needs to apply a microscopic dose of glue or wash with confidence. It is a consumable item: once the medium dries, the head is spent.

A modeling aid or tool, not a kit. Paints, glues and chemicals are not part of the delivery. When working with solvent-based media, ventilate the room and protect your hands.
