This Tamiya Pointed Modeling Brush HG II is an updated version of Tamiya's HG (High-Grade) pointed brush. The following updates have been incorporated - PBT resin bristles (instead of horse-hair bristles) and new solvent-resistant plastic grips. This updated brush is incredibly useful for both beginners and veterans alike. PBT resin bristles are slightly stiff and durable for precision painting. Grips are made of solvent-resistant plastic. The handle has a small tab to prevent rolling and damaging of bristles, and it can be cut off using side cutters if not needed. Pointed Modeling Brushes are part of the line of Tamiya modeling paints and supplies.
