Tamiya 87159 for Crisp Scale Detailing

When working on small-scale kits, tool choice affects the finish. The Tamiya 87159 HG Flat Brush (Medium) offers predictable performance for both broad strokes and neat edges without a premium price tag.

Why the Bristles Matter

The brush features Japanese PBT resin bristles that are resistant to splaying and keep a reliable tip. That stability helps deliver consistent paint flow and finer control for panel lines and small markings.

Range of Applications

A medium flat shape suits basecoats, edge highlights and touch-ups on plastic or resin parts. It handles standard acrylic and enamel hobby paints and adapts well to different thinning levels and techniques.

Can I use this brush for washes and weathering?

Yes, the flat profile spreads washes evenly for panel shading; use a slightly softer touch and the correct thinner to control flow during weathering.

How do I keep the tip sharp between sessions?

After cleaning, gently reshape the bristles with your fingers and store the brush upright or in a holder that protects the tip from pressure.

Is the handle comfortable for long builds?

The ergonomic handle is sized for steady grip and less hand fatigue, which helps during longer painting sessions or precision work.

Will this brush work with lacquer paints?

PBT bristles tolerate many solvent blends, but always check compatibility and clean promptly when using stronger solvents like lacquer thinner to avoid damage.
