Abteilung 502 brushes are designed for scale modellers and miniature painters who need precision when working with paints, washes and weathering products. In this category at Scenery Workshop you will find several brushes from the Abteilung 502 range suitable for detail painting, general brushwork and modelling techniques commonly used in scale modelling and diorama building.
What are Abteilung 502 brushes?
Abteilung 502 is a brand well known in the modelling world for products aimed at realistic finishing and weathering. The brushes in this range are designed to work well with different types of paints and effects commonly used in modelling, including acrylic paints, oil paints, washes and filters.
