Synthetic Round Paint Brush Brown Tip Size 3

Synthetic round brush, brown tip, size 3 (Italeri)

This is a round brush with synthetic fibers from Italeri, the Italian maker of models and accessories. The brown tip denotes a type of synthetic fiber whose properties imitate natural sable hair: it is springy, holds paint well and returns to a point. Size 3 is a smaller brush suitable for detail and more accurate strokes.

Properties and use

• The round bundle comes to a point, which suits detail, markings, fine lines and smaller areas.
• The brown synthetic fiber imitates sable hair: it holds paint well and springs back into shape.
• The synthetic fibers suit acrylics and water-thinnable paints above all.
• Thin the paint and lay it on in thinner coats; rinse the brush as you go, so that paint does not harden at the ferrule.

Who it is for

For modelers who need a smaller round brush for detail painting and more accurate strokes. Size 3 suits small areas and markings; for continuous areas use a larger brush, and for the finest detail a brush with an even finer point. Italeri offers these brushes as an accessory to its kits, so size 3 will serve well for painting in details and markings directly on a model.

Clean the brush after use and let it dry lying flat with the point formed. Storing it point down deforms the fibers.
