Does anyone know if the Tamiya Modeling Brush PRO series of brushes are good? I was thinking of getting one but I couldn't find any reviews online. If anyone has any reviews of one, or has one themselves, I'd love to hear if it's good. Thanks.

Hi Kieran
I have been using them for about 3 years now, for painting figures and detail work on larger kits. I mainly use Vallejo with them, but also odd bit of Humbrol, and in both cases I have had no problems with them. They keep their shape well. I would recommend them to anyone and will be buying more in the near future. The only thing against and it is a very minor thing, it took a while to get use to the thicker handles (possibly an age thing)
cheers

Thanks for the reply. I've had some problems with my hand recently but this handle seems to be made for me. No pain at all. I just bought it yesterday though so I'll see how I feel about it in time.

I gotta say asking over twenty bucks for a brush cause it has a thick handle is a little rich. just get some good fine brushes from your local arts store.WAY cheaper and perform , i would say ,just as well.

It's grade is equal to Raphael Kolinsky with large handle. Large handle has advantage in it's easy to control with 2 fingers.

Hi
I use a range of brushes branded ProArt, they are excellent brushes and their miniature range have a much thicker triangular shaped handle, and for the price are excellent value and well worth a look.
