Hi. I always find this thread interesting. I was wondering if you brush or spray paint your models. If you do use a brush is there any brand or type you prefer? Regards Mario

Hi Mario,

Thank you! I currently brush everything, although one day I intend to give spraying a go! I don't have a favoured brand as such, but I often pick up Revell Painta Luxus brushes for convenience as they are stocked in both my local model shop and the local branch of Hobbycraft. That said, I do like to pick up a flat brush if I know I'm painting a larger flat surface (such as a van side) and I tend to choose my brush style/size based on the job I need it for.

Hi James

Would you be so kind to post a photo of the brushes that you use as a reference to the uneducated

The Revell ones have a triangular handle that is said to be more comfortable to work with - I've had no complaints and so am inclined to agree!

I also picked this set of three Tamiya brushes up recently and they cover a nice range of tasks, with a flat brush, a stubbier one and a thin detailing brush:
