Set of 7 brushes for Master Tools / TRUMPETER 09900 model kit

A comprehensive assortment for model painting

The Master Tools 09900 brings together seven complementary brushes to cover a large part of the modeler's needs.

Its interest lies in the combination of three round tips designed for precision work and four flat shapes suitable for larger surfaces.

This allows you to quickly choose the tool corresponding to the piece, its size, and the technique used, without having to separately assemble an assortment of different sizes.

The synthetic fibers offer good versatility for painting work and various common finishing operations in modeling.

Three round brushes for details

The references P00, P01, and P02 are intended for work requiring precision and control.

The P00 allows you to tackle the finest elements, while the P01 and P02 are suitable for progressively larger details.

This gradation facilitates especially the painting of small parts, equipment, accessories, cockpit elements, or figurine details.

They are also practical for touch-ups, hard-to-reach areas, and certain wash applications when you want to precisely control the amount of product deposited.

Four flat brushes for flat areas

The references F01, F03, F05, and F08 complement the assortment with four working widths.

The flat shape is particularly effective for color flats, regular surfaces, and intermediate to large-sized parts.

You can use it on a bodywork, a wing, a panel, a hull, or different decorative elements.

The choice between F01 and F08 allows you to adapt the application width to the piece and achieve a more even paint distribution.

This complementarity between round and flat shapes is one of the main advantages of the 09900.

From painting to weathering

The Master Tools 09900 is not limited to coloring.

The different shapes also allow for various weathering techniques, essential for adding more realism to scale models.

Dry brushing, for example, allows you to highlight reliefs by applying a small amount of paint on edges and protruding parts.

The round tips can be used for touch-ups and localized applications, while the flat shapes are useful for working on certain surfaces or spreading a product over a larger area.

The assortment is also suitable for washes, weathering, and dry pigment work.

For models, figurines, and dioramas

The versatility of the 09900 allows it to be used on many modeling subjects:

• aircraft and helicopter models;
• tanks and military vehicles;
• automobiles;
• ships;
• figurines;
• accessories;
• diorama elements.

For example, on a military vehicle, you can use a fine brush for details, then a flat model for surfaces, and finally switch to a small tip for touch-ups and aging effects.

In a diorama, the different widths are also useful for transitioning from a small piece to a larger area.

Complementary sizes for precise work

The advantage of a multi-size assortment is being able to adapt your gesture rather than trying to accomplish everything with a single tool.

A brush that is too wide for a small piece may deposit too much paint. Conversely, a tip that is too fine for a large surface requires more passes and can make the application less even.

With P00, P01, P02, F01, F03, F05, and F08, you have a selection covering these different needs.

This organization is particularly convenient for modelers who regularly switch between details, surfaces, touch-ups, and finishes.

Synthetic fibers and maintenance

Synthetic fibers are a versatile choice for modeling applications.

They offer good mechanical resistance and allow these tools to be used with different paints and products commonly used in the hobby.

To extend their lifespan, I recommend cleaning each brush immediately after use.

It is also preferable not to let the paint dry in the fibers or at the ferrule.

Cleaning and storing flat or tip-up help preserve the shape of the head and the precision of the gesture.

A particularly versatile assortment

The Master Tools 09900 follows a simple logic: bringing together in one set the most useful shapes and sizes for common painting operations.

The three round models prioritize precision.

The four flat brushes facilitate flats and surface work.

The set can then be used for finishing techniques such as dry brush, wash, patina, or pigments.

It is therefore a relevant choice to constitute a first painting equipment or to complement an already well-stocked workshop.
