Tamiya brush pack of 3

The Tamiya brush set that every modeller should have on their workbench

Tamiya has been synonymous with rigor and reliability in the world of modelling for decades. Their range of brushes is no exception: they are designed to perform well for both the novice modeller and the experienced hobbyist seeking consistent and accessible tools. The TA87066 set includes 3 brushes that allow for various painting tasks without the need to resort to multiple separate products.

A set for different painting situations

Having several brushes on hand is essential when working with different colours, techniques, or areas of the piece. Changing brushes — instead of constantly cleaning the same one — speeds up the process and preserves the integrity of the bristles. This pack of 3 units precisely addresses that everyday need on the modelling table.

They are particularly useful for:

• Brush painting of static models in any scale.
• Basic highlighting and shading on figures and miniatures.
• Application of detail touches on dioramas and presentation bases.
• Touching up specific areas after airbrushing.

Compatibility with paints

Tamiya brushes work well with the brand's own acrylic and enamel paints, as well as with acrylics from other common modelling brands such as Vallejo, Kaleido, or Ammo. To keep them in good condition, it is advisable to clean them with the appropriate solvent according to the type of paint used and not to leave them with dried pigment in the bristles.

Usage and maintenance tips

• Clean each brush after every painting session, especially if using enamels.
• Do not leave them resting on the bristles inside a container: it deforms the tip.
• For acrylics, water with a few drops of neutral soap is sufficient for cleaning.
• Store them upright or in a case to preserve the shape of the bristles.
