Hi Firemann816 ,

Yes I used these puppies , I was so lucky to buy a sample with some magazine a time ago and now there is a chance to have it - buy a FineScale Modeler Magazine with microscale microbrush ( free )sample and try it . I use it for - wheathering , for some small pieces and to mask and glue canopies and also painting - very nice tool.

Best Regards

Hi there

As an aircraft builder who's always keen to learn from other people's skills, what does "spot washing" mean?

Is it a way of depicting small "oil stains" etc.?

Cheers, and sorry if I'm way behind on terminology...
