I have an aztek 470 and really like it but I would like to start doing more fine line stuff like hand drawn camo and eventually plane camo which is very fine. What brush has the finest line without spending alot and being a substantial upgrade from my aztek.

You can use your standard AB. For soft camo, do it free hand. For hard edges camo, make a stencil/mask the area.

The fine tip for the aztec works for aircraft camo. For hard edge stuff, I mask. I have to play with the pressure settings and paint mix to get good lines.
