Controlled Flat Brush for Scale Detailing

The Mr.Hobby GSI-MB08 Flat Brush No.8 is suited to modellers seeking control when applying medium to large paint passes. The flat profile helps achieve uniform layers and clear, straight edges on painted surfaces.

Typical Applications

Use this brush for base coating, panel lining and tidying up edges where a straight, consistent stroke is needed. It works well for both broader coverage and controlled trimming tasks.

Maintenance and Technique Advice

Remove excess paint and clean the brush promptly after each session to protect the bristles.
Water-based acrylics make for easier correction and simpler cleaning routines.
Practice loading the brush lightly and use smooth, continuous strokes to avoid visible brush marks.

Will this brush handle small detail work?

While designed for flat strokes, its edge can be used for narrow lines and trimming with practiced control.

How often should I replace the brush?

Replace it when bristles lose shape or split; with proper cleaning and storage it should last through many painting sessions.

Any tips for avoiding streaks?

Apply thin, even layers and keep the brush lightly loaded. Overworking wet paint increases the chance of streaking.

Is this brush good for finishing coats?

It can be used for finishing, but use very light passes and ensure the paint is thinned appropriately to minimise brush marks.

Should I store it upright or flat?

Store it with bristles protected and not bent; a flat or supported upright position keeps the tip intact between uses.
