Just arrived, a partial re-stock for some paints, and detail parts for my 1/32nd scale Spitfire build in the current GB.
Still awaiting the resin tail wheel, and some of those eye-liner 'wands', for small detail painting, which should arrive by the end of this week.


 
Good stuff Terry. I'm finding those quite handy. The only thing to watch is the solvent that you use to clean them if in fact you want to re-use them a few times. I have found the plastic dissolves in the lacquer thinner I use, making a bit of a mess. Being quite cheap, I don't mind disposing of them after a few uses.
 
Thanks for the tips Andy.
I've used one so far, for a very small area, using matt black enamel, which worked extremely well, and it has cleaned up nicely in my normal white spirit thinners
Even if the entire pack of 50 only allows one use per 'brush', I'll be happy, as the current cost of 5/0 and smaller brushes, which are nowhere near as good as they were some years ago ( the quality of the bristles is not as good), will still be more expensive and, more frustrating, due to the quality, or lack of, can cause ' accuracy' problems, when the tip of the brush decides to 'fan out'.
 
These finally arrived, delayed a bit due to Mark, at Grey Matter Figures, being on holiday - but he sent them as soon as he returned so thanks Mark !
The retractable tail wheel is for my current Spitfire Mk.VIII build, and as the Hurricane cockpit set was the last one, I grabbed it, for use with my 1971 vintage Revell 1/32nd scale kit, re-issued in 2009, which I intend to do in the not too distant future.
