Flat No.4 Shape for Smooth, Controlled Coverage
The flat No.4 profile provides a wider painting edge than a traditional round detail brush. This makes it useful for applying smooth base colors, painting armor panels, covering vehicle surfaces, working along raised edges, and creating controlled strokes across miniature and model parts.
The approximately 5 mm tip width offers enough coverage for efficient painting while remaining compact enough for detailed scale-model and miniature work.
Specially Selected Synthetic PBT Fibers
The Starliner series uses synthetic PBT fibers designed to retain a useful amount of paint and release it cleanly from the brush tip. This helps produce longer, smoother strokes with fewer interruptions for reloading.
The fibers provide a practical balance of rebound, flexibility, and firmness, helping the flat edge remain responsive when working on compact surfaces.
Ideal for Base Coats, Edges, and Blending
The straight flat edge can be used for base coating, painting trim, creating clean edge strokes, applying highlights to raised surfaces, and blending colors across small areas.
It can also support controlled dry-brushing and weathering applications when used with an appropriate amount of paint and light pressure.
Designed for Water-Based Hobby Paints
The synthetic fibers are particularly well suited to water-based model and miniature paints. For the best results, prepare or thin the paint according to its manufacturer's instructions and avoid allowing paint to dry inside the bristles or ferrule.
The brush is suitable for Gunpla, scale vehicles, aircraft, fantasy miniatures, tabletop gaming figures, terrain, dioramas, and other hobby projects.
Natural Wood Handle and Brass Ferrule
The natural-finish wooden handle offers a comfortable and lightweight grip for controlled painting. Its shape is designed to remain comfortable during extended hobby sessions.
A brass ferrule supports the brush head and provides a stable connection between the synthetic fibers and wooden handle.
Brush Care: Clean the brush promptly after use with a cleaner suitable for the paint type. Gently reshape the flat edge and allow the brush to dry without resting its weight on the bristles. Avoid soaking the wooden handle or allowing dried paint to collect inside the ferrule.
