The Tamiya Paint Brush - HG II Flat - Extra Small is designed for model painters seeking precise application on flat surfaces. Its key benefit is the high-quality PBT resin bristles that offer a smooth, controlled paint application. A potential caveat is that the small size may require a learning curve for very detailed, intricate work not suited for flat brushes.

This brush is effective with acrylics, enamels, and lacquers. Its PBT bristles are designed to handle various paint types commonly used in model painting.

This HG II version features updated PBT resin bristles (instead of horse hair) and new solvent-resistant plastic grips for improved durability and performance.
The handle is made of a thinner-resistant plastic, designed for durability during use and cleaning.

Compatibility: This brush is compatible with a wide range of hobby paints, including acrylics, enamels, and lacquers. It is designed for use with model kits and general hobby painting applications.
Care: To maintain the brush's performance:
