Precise Detailing with the Tamiya 87159

For model builders aiming for tidy detail, tool choice matters. The Tamiya 87159 HG Flat Brush (Medium) combines a dependable bristle profile with a shape suitable for both coverage and fine lines.

Materials and Handling

The brush uses Japanese-made PBT resin bristles that resist splitting and hold their form, supplying a steady tip for close work. The handle is balanced to aid controlled strokes during precision painting tasks.

Where It Excels

This medium flat brush is well suited to laying base coats, crisp edge work and adding small highlights. It works with standard modelling paints and adapts to a variety of thinning and brushing methods.

Do I need special soap to clean this brush?

A gentle brush soap or mild detergent removes paint and conditioner without harming PBT bristles; avoid harsh solvents for routine cleaning.

Is this suitable for tiny cockpit or instrument faces?

Yes, the fine edge of the bristles makes it possible to pick out small details when used with steady hands and thin paint mixes.

Can I leave paint in the brush between sessions?

Do not leave paint sitting in the brush; clean it after use to prevent bristle damage and maintain tip shape for the next session.

What storage method keeps the tip safe?

Store brushes tip-up in a jar or in a case that prevents bending; use a cap or sleeve for transport to avoid crushing the bristles.

Will this brush handle slightly thinned enamel paints?

PBT bristles tolerate thinned enamels, but clean promptly after use and test thinning levels to ensure the bristles respond the way you need for fine work.
