Pinpoint Detailing with the Tamiya 87217 Brush

The Tamiya 87217 Modeling Brush HG II is tailored for model makers needing a reliably fine tip for intricate paintwork. Its PBT resin fibres deliver a balance of firmness and durability for repeatable small-scale tasks.

Upgraded Elements of the Modeling Brush HG II

The HG II design focuses on practical improvements that matter at the workbench:

PBT Resin Bristles: These synthetic bristles offer a tight tip and resistance to wear, helping you lay down thin, accurate strokes.
Solvent-Resistant Grips: The handle uses a durable plastic that tolerates common hobby solvents so the finish and feel hold up over time.
Anti-Roll Design: A molded tab at the end stops the brush rolling away and shields the bristles; it can be removed cleanly if you prefer a smooth handle.

How difficult is this brush to use for beginners?

Beginners can use the brush for fine lines and detailing, but it helps to practice paint load and stroke control since the tip is very narrow.

What maintenance keeps the brush lasting?

Wipe away excess paint, clean with the correct thinner, then wash and reshape the bristles. Dry with the tip up or flat and avoid harsh scrubbing.

Are the bristles firm or soft?

The PBT bristles are slightly stiff compared to natural hair, which gives better control for precise work while remaining resilient.

Will solvent contact damage the grip?

The grip material is solvent resistant under normal use, so routine cleaning should not cause the handle to degrade rapidly.

Is removing the anti-roll tab recommended?

Removal is a personal choice. Keeping the tab helps prevent rolling and protects the bristles, while removing it gives a slimmer grip for certain techniques.
