Review: Der Raphael 8404 ist super fürs Bemalen von Miniaturen und Figuren! Die feine Kolinsky-Borste hält Farbe gut, bleibt spitz und eignet sich perfekt für präzise Details wie Gesichter oder Rüstungen. Der Pinsel liegt angenehm in der Hand, die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig mit stabilem Ferrule. Auch nach mehrmaligem Einsatz bleibt die Form top, wenn man ihn gut pflegt. Für den Preis ein klasse Werkzeug für Modellbau und Tabletop – klare Empfehlung!
Review: Seriously ignore any bad review that stems from it not arriving with a cap, thats not the manufacturer's fault, its whatever vendor was foolish enough to mail them without caps at the tip. I have ordered 4, all came with caps. I have a few Winsor and Newton brushes and in my opinion these are way better. They seem to be much more durable and hold their shape much better. I cant count how many times i have accidentally jammed the brush tip into something, giving myself a heart attack thinking the brush was ruined, but it always retains its shape perfectly without even having to straighten them out again. Winsor and Newton are a bit too thick bellied for me, making it almost clumsy. These are perfect, only a tiny bit slimmer but they are much better at fitting into tighter spaces. I used to have about 5-8 brushes of different sizes that I used daily. Now I only use 3. I use a Raphael size 0, a size 1, and a rougher old brush for the dirty work like drybrushing. The size 1 is my daily workhorse, the size is perfect, you can paint anything from large portions of armor to tiny eyes if need be, because of the wide belly and sharp tip, they are extremely versatile. I cant recommend these enough, I used to use Citadel brushes along with some Army Painter and other brands, and these just blow them out of the water. I cant ever go back to using anything else. Dont let the negative reviews about no caps stop you from buying these, I have received all of mine (from multiple different sellers) with caps and could not be happier!

Prima volta che acquisto un pennello raphael, di solito ho sempre usato quelli sintetici. Devo dire che la differenza di prezzo è più che giustificata. La punta è estremamente fine ed affilata, permette di realizzare anche dettagli molto piccoli. La bombatura delle setole permette di caricare agevolmente il colore dentro al pennello e se si usano gli acrilici ne rallenta l'asciugatura (permettendo quindi di lavorare con un po' più di tranquillità). Visto il costo e la qualità, consiglio di pulire il pennello accuratamente dopo ogni sessione di pittura, con sapone neutro ed acqua a temperatura ambiente.
